The Reformed Doctrine of Coziness

It snowed last night, so coziness is all the vibes right now. Let us ransack this theme for spiritual riches. God comforts us with gifts and graces to keep us spiritually cozy as we march through this cold wilderness of a world.

His Presents

All good things we enjoy are God’s gracious comfort for us. All the spiritual blessings and riches of the gospel keep mighty company with us as well. What friends we have in the doctrines of grace! In addition, even the difficulties we pass through are full of the sanctifying presence of God to us in Christ.

His Presence

Above and beyond (and in and through) all these cozinesses of the soul, God has given us his own special presence. The Holy Spirit lives within us, that divine Person who is called the Comforter. Let us stay warm beside the fires of his fellowship as we press forward through task and trial toward our heavenly home.
