Our Hope of Coming Glory
Dearly beloved of God, look up and lift up your heads, for our redemption draws nigh. The Lord is coming! We are waiting for our calling on high. We are sealed by the spirit of God for the day of redemption.
Our inheritance is incorruptible and undefiled; it does not fade away; it is reserved for us in heaven. We are partakers of a heavenly calling, and our hope is laid up, preserved, held in store for us in the heavenlies.
Since we were raised with Christ we are to seek those things which are above where Christ sits at the right hand of God. Set your affection, your thinking on things above, not on things on the earth.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall we also appear with him in glory. We will obtain the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Too often we become absorbed with the things of the world and consequently we allow them to fashion our thinking, our attitudes, and affect our believing. We are not to be fashioned by this age.
We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds so we may prove the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God in our lives. We are to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will; not just with a head knowledge of it, but to the end we walk in His will.
Dearly beloved, since Jesus Christ justified us by the grace of God we became heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
By believing we are protected by the power of God unto the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. Be confident that he who began a good work in you will continue to perform it until the day of Christ Jesus.
Everyone who has this hope in Christ purifies himself even as he is pure. Live love, dearly beloved.
