Killing sin with Christological satisfaction

I noticed, as I was reading II Corinthians 6.16-18 this morning, that on either side of the command to “go out from their midst and be separate” from darkness are the pleasures or benefits that will induce the people of God to separate from that darkness – namely that God will dwell and walk among them, that He will be their God, and that we will be the sons and daughters of our God and Father [Matthew 6.9].

My prayer is that I will see and savor Jesus, my superior satisfaction at God’s right hand. These intoxications don't leave you with a hangover the next morning. Edwards puts it this way: “To be happy to all eternity is better than all other good; and to be miserable forever under the wrath of God is worse than all other evil.”


Looking forward to prayer meeting and maybe some Armetta's later on!
