gloryseedThe Gospel is the ultimate action adventure story. When the Lord Jesus calls us to follow him he is calling us to join the adventure.
Good stories have happy endings. But to enjoy the story one must pass through all the twists and turns of the plot. A good author doesn’t tell you how things will work out – you just have to follow along and find out.
The same thing is true of the gospel. And since we’re still in the middle of the story we have to trust the Author and walk by faith and not by sight. along the way there will be victories followed by set-backs and seemingly hopeless dilemmas followed by last-minute rescues. And, sadly, some of the best characters will die before the end. But we have faith and courage to follow along because we already know that in the end the Author will make certain that there is a “happily-ever-after” ending — the resurrection of the dead and the glorification of God’s elect.

I would alter “still in the middleof” with living (And since we’re living the story…)
Agree with Tom’s thought on gloification – technical word. Does it work as – “… the resurrection of the dead which are God’s elect.” Even then elect has a very specific meaning.
I’d add something about eternity. “to live with Him forever and ever.”
