Engagement

Another quote from Paul Tripp, earlier in the same book:

To Paul, the only way to go through life properly is to understand that we are engaged. We have been betrothed to Christ, and our life now is preparation for the great wedding to come.

This is very encouraging to me on several different levels. I've been thinking of life with this metaphor for a while, but it was wonderful to read it so clearly from someone else - confirmation that the thought is biblical.
