Guarantees

We have all heard in our lives that there are no guarantees. Something can change on a dime that effects your life. It can be as small as a date being canceled, to as big as someone dying who is close to you. But there is one guarantee in life. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 says, "Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He has anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."  God's guarantee is that if you believe in Him, there will be many benefits to enjoy in heaven. As a down payment on the benefits, He has sent the holy spirit to live in you. So no matter what you are going through, you always have one guarantee to look forward to.
