Every nation has a national anthem that rallies the troops and reminds its people of their national identity. In ancient Israel, God’s hesed (specifically Exodus 34:6–7) was the celebratory anthem that rallied the people, stirred unity, reminded them of their identity in Yahweh, and exalted His character and nature. In this episode, Nathan continues his series on God’s hesed (lovingkindness) and how the character of God should also be the anthem of our lives.-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 330View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/330

The beauty of the Christian life is that we live in what scholars often call the “now and not yet.” In other words, while we have salvation and redemption NOW, there is also a waiting and longing for our future (completed) salvation and redemption. Throughout Scripture, salvation is used in all three tenses: we were saved (past), are being saved (present), and will be saved (future). In this episode, Nathan talks about the three tenses of our salvation and how we can find the beauty and profundity in our “now and not yet” lives.-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 321View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/321
