This is your firstfruit of eternal redemption. This is your guarantee. This is God s way of manifesting Himself in your redeemed soul. He wants you to know that you know that you know that you are saved and a new creature in Christ. Salvation is not something of the mind only.
Salvation is a radical transformation.
The sinner is made into a saint. The moment you are saved, you are made as holy as you will ever be. No one will have to force pure living on you when the inward man is transformed. You will delight in the holiness of God because your character has been transformed to express the nature of God. The Holy Spirit waits at the door of your heart.
