“Through the Holy Spirit comes our restoration to paradise, our ascension into the kingdom of heaven, our return to the adoption of sons, our liberty to call God our Father, our being made partakers of the grace of Christ, our being called children of light, our sharing in eternal glory, and, in a word, our being brought into a state of all "fulness of blessing," both in this world and in the world to come, of all the good gifts that are in store for us, by promise hereof, through faith, beholding the reflection of their grace as though they were already present, we await the full enjoyment.” WorldChildrenMadeStatesLightSpiritFatherHeavenChristLibertyGraceThis WorldSonReturnHolyPromiseBlessingEternalGloryReflectionStoresKingdomsHoly SpiritEnjoymentParadiseAdoptionOur FatherRestorationKingdom Of HeavenAscension Author:Saint Basil
