Abounding Grace: Belonging, Not Orphans

This year we’ve discussed many of the ways that our heavenly Father works to communicate his goodness to us: giving us access to his presence in the throne room of grace; providing us the Incarnate Son to intercede and minister to us; giving us his law as a presentation of his character; providing his people sacraments within the covenant of grace. God uses each of these to bless us in Christ and communicate our adoption into his family. God wants us to know that we belong to him.

But there is one person in this that is central to our experience of all God’s goodness. Jesus says that this person is intentionally sent, so that we will know that we aren’t orphans. This person will guide into truth, comfort, counsel, and apply all of Christ’s benefits. This person fills us with the presence of Christ. This person takes all that the Father has given and ministers it to us: this is Holy Spirit.

Join us as we take the next few weeks to consider Him.
