Wow, this is a great positional truth. While we are still living
here on earth, God has positionally or symbolically placed every saint in heaven. God considers each saint
- each person who believes in Jesus - to be worthy of heaven. You are already there! He has already placed
each saint in heaven. Death is the door to home. Now that is spiritual security! We are saved only once. Glory
be to God!
Path to Spiritual Growth. Our practice does not match our position. Therefore,
God wants to change us so that we match the position He has given us. Just like any family, we cannot grow
in maturity by ourselves. Children need parents to guide, teach, encourage, and nurture them. It is not possible
to mature well by ourselves. So God has given His children, His holy ones, those whom He has seated in the
heavenly places, three key areas that should be part of their growth.
9. Christians are a family - a spiritual family. We are the children of God. One of the
most important aspects of any family is mutual support. Hebrews 10:24-25 explains how we are to support one
another. How does God want us to support the saints? Why is it necessary to meet together? What is the advantage?
10. 1 Corinthians 12:14-25 and Hebrews 6:10 tell us what the saints should be doing with
one another. What did you discover in these verses?
