As we have all experienced, the promise of eternal life realities are ours in part today, having been given them when we received the holy spirit. It is our guarantee, in writing and in practice, of the reliability and faithfulness of God.
A guarantee is a promise or an assurance, especially one given in writing, that attests to the quality or durability of a product or service, or a pledge that something will be performed in a specified manner.
When Jesus said in Matthew 5:18, “Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled”
He was saying that God’s Word is true and trustworthy. God has spoken, His words have been written down accurately, and what God has said will surely come to pass. Fulfillment is inevitable. Even the smallest letter of the Law will be fulfilled. Even the smallest pen stroke of the Prophets will be accomplished. The NLT translates the verse this way: “Until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.”
We have His Word-the warranty
We have His spirit-the guarantee
IT WILL HAPPEN!!
