“Hope”

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. For God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.” Romans 8:28 -30

Meditation:

As Christians we know that the following things are true: We love God with all our hearts and we are loved by Him too. As His children, we have been called according to His purpose. He has known us long before we came into existence. His plan of salvation for the world was predestined. It was a plan that was always meant to come.

God desires that we be conformed to the image of his Son - in other words we become just like Jesus Christ in everything that we say and do. We have been justified by the blood of Jesus Christ. We have also been glorified, by Christ, as a result of receiving Him into our lives. Romans 8:28-30 is one of the most beautiful verses in the Bible. It sums up God's intention for us and for our lives. In a world filled with trials and tribulations of many sorts, we can be confident because we are loved by God and we know that the plans that He has for us will always work .

Think of it like this, God managed to sort out the greatest thing of our lives - our salvation. Without Jesus Christ, we would all be damned to hell and there would be nothing that could save us. But God, out of His endless love for us, sent His son to take the fall for us so that we would be able to live. Now, as Christians, we walk confidently because we know of where we, are headed. We have received eternal life, a life that will not be revoked from us because of the love that we have for God.

In a world filled with hopelessness and uncertainty, we can walk with our heads held high because we know that all is truly well with our lives. If God could turn around our eternity, the greatest thing in our lives, for us, what can't he do? Is there anything more important than the fate of our eternity? No!

So walk tall, dear believer, and know that you are covered. God has filled your life with his assurance and He will always be with you. Not only are you justified but you have been glorified as well. You have received a heavenly inheritance, as a child of God, and you have a glorious future to look forward to. Hallelujah!

Prayer;

Our Father in Heaven thank you for gave us this wonderful Hope and Promise; for Salvation and Eternal Spiritual Life…a New Abundant life! In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen!
