Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights, with Whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning. Of His own will begat He us with the Word of Truth,
that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
When we confessed with our mouths that Jesus Christ is our Lord, and
believed in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, we were adopted by
the Father of lights. This was done of His own will, our heavenly Father drew
us to Himself to be partakers of His good and perfect gifts, every one of them.
The Word of Truth, placed in our mouths and planted in our hearts, gave us
access to the first gift immediately: the indwelling of His Holy Spirit as our
personal leader, guide, and mentor. Following the promptings of the Holy Spirit
help us to immediately grow in the likeness of His beloved Son and to lay hold
of our inheritance. Thank you, Abba!Related Scriptures: Romans 10:4-13; John 6:37-51: John 15:26-27; Romans 8:1-39
