"Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the com-
ing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it."
The Puritans were fond of saying that there is not one dimension of the redeemed person's being that is not renewed by the grace of God. This is a significant encouragement for us in this life. If this is true--and it is--then God is at work in EVERY sphere of our beings: our souls, our spirits, and our bodies.
In glory, there will be no more struggles. Here, however, we have the privilege of growing in grace and love.
[Puritan quote of the day: "He who has true grace can no more fall away than the angels, which are fixed stars in their heavenly orbs."
--Thomas Watson, in his sermon, "The Beauty of Grace"]
