Suggested post text:
Spurgeon said he never knew a Christian who regretted giving their life to Christ, not in sickness, not in poverty, not even in seasons of doubt. So do not chase happiness on its own. Seek Christ first, and the joy follows. #Faith #SeekFirst

Summary
Preaching on 1 John 3:2, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God,” C. H. Spurgeon puts his weight on one word: now. People keep faith at a distance, the way they keep war and death at a distance, hoping to be saved at last. But the Bible speaks of its blessings in the present tense. A believer is already forgiven, already justified, already a child of God, and will be no more a child of God in heaven than today. Faith and hope can only be exercised here, and so can its duties: loving enemies, forgiving, giving and visiting the sick, since heaven has no one who needs them. Against the idea that faith is gloomy, he points to believers who found it a light in poverty, sickness and toil, and says he never knew a Christian who regretted it. Seek Christ first, he urges, and happiness will follow.
For small groups
The 5 discussion questions that come with this message:
- Spurgeon says people keep faith at a distance and plan to deal with it later. Where are you tempted to say “someday” to God?
- Scripture speaks of forgiveness, peace and adoption in the present tense. Which of these is hardest for you to believe is yours today?
- What changes for you when you know you will be no more God's child in heaven than you are right now?
- Loving enemies, forgiving, giving and visiting the sick can only be done in this life. Which of these is in front of you this week?
- Spurgeon never knew a Christian who regretted following Christ. When has your faith been a light to you in a hard season?

A real page says why the church got it: the church said yes to our email, and then we made it from the audio in the church's public podcast feed.
