HOPE

“Through Him also we have access by faith into His grace in which we stand.

And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God.”

(Romans 5.2).

Hope that is seen is not hope. We hope to see what we do not yet see.  Hope is energized by faith.

Without faith it is impossible to please God.

The Gospel which is THE BEST NEWS EVER brings the best and brightest hope to humanity.

The Best News Ever  tell us we are made partakers of the divine nature.

Here is St. Peter:

“Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received like precious faith

with ourselves in and through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

May grace and peace be multiplied to you in knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things to life and godliness, through the knowledge

of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence.

By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that

through them you may escape from the moral decay that is in the world because of covetousness

and become partakers of the divine nature.”

(I. Peter 1. 1-4).

The Gospel tells us we shall see Jesus face to face and we shall be like Him:

” Beloved, we are now God’s children. It is not yet disclosed what we shall be, but

we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall resemble and be like Him,

for we shall see Him as He really is.

And everyone who has this hope on Him cleanses himself just as He is pure.

(I. John 3.2 & 3).

Hope fills the gap between the ALREADY and NOT YET.

Faith helps us to rejoice while we wait.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU JESUS FOREVERMORE!
