The Wondrous Blessings of Belief

Jesus, as our first Advocate, prayed for us, even died to justify and free us.  He also came to deliver us from the Pharisaical religiosity and the Gentile paganism of the world to reveal the truth about Who God is and how we can be His!  He worked out the adoption details for us, bringing us in as sons.

Jesus then sends us another Advocate, Holy Spirit.  As Jesus claimed to be in the Father and the Father in Him, so is Their relationship with Holy Spirit.  Holy Spirit dwelling within us is also the Father and the Son dwelling within us! 

Can there be anything at all in this world that comes close to the relationship we have been given in Christ Jesus!?

I've heard people say that if they would rather believe in Christ and be wrong, which if there is no eternity, costs nothing, than refuse to believe and be wrong, which would be eternally costly.  That is of course true.  But I would say that the life even now, in this world, that Christ has given to us, this relationship with His Father is worth all.  But say there is no God, and I am wrong.  I would still say that this life of belief, this joy, this peace, and this living with the goal of love, kindness, and service makes life so much more wonderful and full and joyful.  No wealth, no fame, no power on earth could give me such a sweet life as my faith in Christ and my hope founded on His Word!!!
