"The faithfulness of the Messiah has already opened relationship with God to all people. Gal 2:16. It is the incredible faithfulness to the ways of God that has opened a whole new age for humankind." Matthew Henry. Our lives hang in the balance between three events: The Past and what has already happened - a new age with our names written in the Book of the Lamb; The Present Temporal World and what is already set in motion - purchased by the Blood of the Lamb; and the Future Slain Lamb rises in Victory and we live to praise. Called before the foundations of the world. We live. Appointed. Purchased. Praising.
"Everything hangs on being in the 3 scenes.
Past: Appointed.
Present: Purchased.
Future: Praising." John Piper.
