A Well of Hope

We as the body of Christ should always be a light and well spring of hope for all those around us. We know that our lives will not end when we die but it will actually be the new beginning of our eternal life in Christ Jesus. At that moment we will receive our new bodies and will have all the promises fulfilled given to us by a loving Father in the event that we ran our race and did not faint. The suffering we have in this life is but a short time compared to the life to come and for that we have an eternal hope that should not be moved or shaken. We know that this earth is fading away everyday and that it growths darker and darker except for where we are as we have been called to occupy and preserve by being the slat and light in the earth. The light of hope should radiate all around us as we continue our race and be the bridge for so many to come to Christ and to develop a full relationship with the one true God. Today, look into the scriptures and fill up on hope and then turn and strengthen all around you with the light of hope and the gospel of Jesus Christ!!! Have a wonderful life of hope on purpose!!!!!

Romans 5

Peace and Joy
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a]have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we[c] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Romans 8

Future Glory
18I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that[i] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 25But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
