Selwyn continues ‘reflecting on the thought that most of the Bible is written in story form’. I liked this point that he makes: ” … the (Holy) Spirit is moving through the world, seeking God’s elected ones and preparing them for the day when the Bride (the Church) and the Bridegroom (Jesus Christ) will be joined [...]

The first reason Selwyn gives, as to why some [...]
History – God’s story
Today’s verses for reading and meditation are another great example, of the comfort and security, we have in Jesus; Paul’s letter to the Galatians 3:15-25 (NLT):
