Romans 8:23 New International Version (NIV)
23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the
firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our
adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
The Holy Spirit, who lives in us, is our guarantee of a greater
glory that is to come (cf. 2 Corinthians 1:22; 2 Corinthians 5:5).
The Spirit is the firstfruits of that glory that is to be revealed in us (Romans
8:18). Our current state is only a foretaste of what lies ahead for us; we
yearn to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling and to be at home with God (2
Corinthians 5:1-8).
Thought for today:
Can I work without complaint?
