When we embrace the spiritual promise, we are also coming into our own promise, where we are fulfilling the promise to deliver ourselves to God. That's really what this life is all about - fulfilling the spiritual promise by doing our part of God. One approach could be, "Well, if it's promised, then why do I have to do anything? It's done, isn't it?" Yes, God's part is done, but you have your part in the realizing of it and the fulfillment of it. It's not an infliction. It happens out of a choice and out of your involvement. That involvement is natural because not one Soul will be lost.-John Morton, DSS
