"Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness."- Romans 4:3
Abraham lived many centuries before Jesus came to earth. He was a man of great faith, and to God that faith was very precious. so it is with us. We are not perfect; we make mistakes, and sometimes do wrong things for which we are very sorry. But true Christians have complete trust and faith in our Heavenly Father, and know he loves us and will always be with us. Genesis 15:6

Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over. (Psalm 23:5)
THE fulness of the cup, running over, has a double significance. It is a cup of joy and a cup of sorrow, and in both respects it overflows. He who would partake of the joys of the Lord must also partake of His cup of suffering; we must suffer with Him if we would reign with Him. But we count the sufferings of this present time as not worthy to be compared with the glories that shall be revealed in us, and hence we are enabled to rejoice in tribulation, so that as the tribulations will overflow the rejoicing likewise overflows, and with the apostle we can say, Rejoice, and again I say Rejoice!

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16
THE figure of a temple is variously used in respect to the church. Each Christian is spoken of as being a temple of the Holy Spirit after he receives the begetting of the Spirit. Each congregation might be considered the temple of God. And the church as a whole when gathered to the heavenly condition will be God's temple, in that God will dwell in them. According to another figure, each Christian is a living stone in preparation for the great temple of the future, now being chiseled, polished, made ready for his place in the temple above. The thought is that as God in olden times was represented in the tabernacle by the Shekinah glory of the most holy, and was also represented in the literal temple of Jerusalem, so he is represented now in all those who are begotten of his Holy Spirit, and will be represented further by all who walk in harmony with their Spirit-begetting and continue to abide in the Lord's love.
