abandon the Lord , who never abandoned you . The solution is to abandon the wrong theology and to embrace the right theology of the Word . It may not always be simple , cut , and dry . But it is true .
We live in the age of “ already but not yet ,” meaning the age in which many of God ’ s eternal promises have broken through in this world , but we have not yet seen the fullness of those promises . That means you can take every miraculous intervention as a token of the goodness of the world to come , a world in which there is no sickness , pain , or suffering , while we still live in this broken , imperfect world . And whether we are healthy or sick , whether we live or die , we learn that Jesus is more than enough . Once you grab hold of that , you will never be shaken again .
