The Tension of Now and Not Yet

The Tension of Now and Not Yet

Life in Christ is both complete and unfinished—we are already saved, yet still waiting for full redemption. Romans 8 reminds us that we have the firstfruits of the Spirit, a down payment of heaven, but the final movement of God’s plan is still to come. Join Dr. Rusty Griffin for this message which explores how to live in that tension: rejoicing in present victory while longing for future restoration. We are called to live with gratitude, groan with holy longing, and hold steady in patient hope—trusting that one day, the “Not Yet” will become “Now,” and the unfinished symphony will reach its final, glorious note.
