We can "Know" that we are His throughout eternity.
1 John 5:13: “I have written these things to you that you may know that you have eternal life, to you who believe into the name of the Son of God.”
The great fact is that God so loved the world (John 3:16). To what extent did He love? He loved to the extent that He gave His only begotten Son to the world to die on the cross for men’s sins and save all the sinners. This is the great fact. Nothing is greater and truer than this. The great condition is the one thing that everyone should do—believe. The great result is whoever believes will not perish, but have eternal life. The path to all that God has for us starts here.
We are given this standing that we may boldly come to the throne of Grace and by faith be filled with the new creation life. We are then able to live before God with a true heart in full assurance of faith. This is the foundation of our walking in the Spirit. As we mature in this place of abiding in Him we become overcomers. As we walk in the Spirit we won't fullfill the lusts of the flesh. It is this effortless expression of His sinless life that is our victory. Victory over sin, self and satan. It is with this child like faith that we begin to enter the Kingdom of God. The High calling in Christ Jesus. A race, a pressing into, an apprehension of that which we were apprehended for. It is the path of the overcomer.
It is the submission to this divine government that will lead to our becoming a partaker with Jesus in His Throne. In this realm, our decisions do not relate only to right or wrong, but with the motives that underlie right or wrong. It is here that the final test of our union with the Lord will find its outworking. As we progress we will be tested concerning the motives of our heart which provoke the things that manifest as right or wrong. It is not enough to deny only the “thing,” we must overcome the very principle that allows it to abide within us and assert itself. All who intensely hunger for this higher level of spiritual reality will be put in a place of pressure by The Lord where the issues of the heart will be revealed. The message of the Church is one of Salvation. The message of the Kingdom is one of Preparation so in “that day,” having become an overcomer, we will be found in the Throne, seated with Jesus. The Kingdom of God is at hand!
