« Through Christ we can approach God and stand in His favor. So we brag because of our confidence that we will receive glory from God »
1Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
« God’s plan is to make known his secret to his people, this rich and glorious secret which he has for all peoples. And the secret is that Christ is in you, which means that you will share in the glory of God »
The Bible says in Hebrews 11:6 that one cannot please God without faith.
For anyone to have the hope of glory, the individual must choose correctly whom he or she would serve, Joshua 24:15.
It takes faith to choose rightly, according to our memory verse for today.
Through faith in the Living God, we are justified as the redeemed of the Lord – Jesus being the Author and Finisher of our Faith.
- He came to save us through His death, by the washing away of our sins with His blood.
This is why the Bible says, 1 Corinthians 15:13-14, 20 KJV:
« But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. But now is Christ from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept »
The Scripture above is the basis for our hope of glory.
The Scripture further says, 1 Corinthians 15:19NLT
«…if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world »
This is why as Christians, we should not despair even in tribulation because of the assurance of glory we have in Christ.
Our hope of glory is not an empty hope, according to Revelation 21:1-7, which assures us of a new heaven and a new earth where there shall be no more pain, sorrow, lack, sickness or death.
Death shall be swallowed in victory, 1 Corinthians 15:54.
Therefore, beloved, to have this hope in you, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today.
If you have accepted Christ, ensure you do not look back because Jesus said:
« No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God »
I pray the Almighty God keeps us all in Him to the end, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer focus – Thank the Lord for the hope of glory and ask Him to help you remain steadfast in Him to the end.
