"One day the fight will be over. Faith will become sight. Our image
will be perfectly aligned with Christ's image. Our affection for Christ
will be so strong that it will be chief among ten thousand. All
competitors for his attention will bow before him, and we will recover a
childish, yet mature delight that will never cease to thrill our souls.
Every act will be a natural act of obedience sparked by joy. The
warnings will fade and the promises will be fulfilled. Threats will no
longer be necessary and rewards will abound. The Spirit will have full
sway in our gladdened hearts as we live forever in Spirit-led worship.
We will no longer lean toward performance or license. The gospel will be
central forever. Our conversions will be complete, our community
characterized by love, and our mission colored in worship. We will no
longer know our sin, fight our sin, or struggle to trust our Savior.
Until then, may God grant us his sovereign grace to fight the good fight
of faith, for our joy, and for his eternal glory."
