We Get God Today

"I gave my life to the king who died on a tree
And he ain't make me richer
He ain't make me taller
He ain't give new legs to my cousins little daughter
He gave me something greater then anything I done seen
He gave himself to me"
(Lecrae, 'Inspiration', Church Clothes)

Christian, we get God today. Do we realize what that really means? When we woke up this morning, if Jesus Christ is our salvation, then we get God today. Not only today, but everyday for eternity. Jesus didn't just save us from, but he also saves us to. What does he save us to?  He saves us to enjoy and live out a restored and reconciled relationship with the Father, where we are now considered children of God (Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6-7), who live for the glory of his magnificent name. This is spectacular news and makes anything else we might be going through seem momentary and light. Whenever God enters into the picture everything changes. 

The good news of the Gospel will always be that we get God. God gives us himself in Jesus and he is more than enough. The world is passing away and eternity is closer than we think. Let us cling to Jesus: the one true treasure, the rock of our foundation, the all satisfying Savior.

Whom have I in heaven but you?

And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:25-26)
