Jesus came to save us from our sins. Had Adam not sinned, we would not have need for reconciliation with God. His Son, though, is our salvation, for through Him our sins are no more. God forgave us and we have hope for the coming days.
“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.”
(Titus 2:11-14)
God sees our suffering, He knows what our trials are, and He gives us strength when we feel defeated, power when emptied from our wounds and joy when sadness prevails. He pours more of His spirit into us so that His eternal joy lives in us. We are invincible with God living in us.
No greater hope do we have than that of knowing God sacrificed His Son as payment for our sins. And if God would do that for us, what lies beyond the grave when He raises us to glory and honor, surpassing even the angels? Indeed, He has blessed us now with utter joy!
Our hope is in the resurrection, from a decaying body to an everlasting one, from a life with an end to living into eternity, and from sadness to utter happiness, brimful and running over. Jesus is our Hope.

If we know Jesus, we can’t lose hope. Good post, Jack. Have a great week.

All hope is in Jesus, Jo-Anne!
Amen! Great word. And you’ve given me a verse that ties into a message I will be preaching in 3 weeks at a community service!
May God bless your message and the hearers of the word, Abe!
Hope is everything, Jack. I praise God for my hope in Christ. He gave us His Son as a sacrifice, the Holy Spirit as comforter and truth, His word as a guide for direction and wisdom. And yet, still gave us hope for eternal life. There is nothing else for me to look for. Everything else is temporary. Thank you for sharing this.
Yes, may the real life begin soon when we will be with God forever! God bless
It’s so uplifting to hear your words from the Bible, Jack Flacco. Thank you for the reminder of our destination. God bless you.

Yes! Our blessed hope is in our future resurrection. Jesus was the first fruit of many.
May that day when we will all dwell with God in his house forever come soon. God bless you, Craig!
