A Living Hope
Text:
1 Peter 1:3 – 5
The Christian's hope is a living
principle, and sustains his spiritual life. Our hope is lived out. It is
something that is live out for others to see. This hope gives life and looks
for life as its object. We are now born again for a wonderful expectation of
life to come but not of this world because we are pilgrims and foreigners here.
This expectation we have is based on the assurance that God will keep His
promise to raise us because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Christ has made
necessary power available for our resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:22). His
resurrection makes us certain that we too will be raised from the dead.
This assurance is what makes our hope
lively. It keeps us going, striving against all odds so as to gain that which
God has promised us. What the resurrection of Christ has done for us is that it
has inspired hope and grace in us. It has brought the conviction that we are
going to be resurrected. The onus on us now is to live our lives with that
inspired hope from the resurrection of Christ. It should make us to be heavenly
conscious as we read yesterday. It should inspire a more strong faith in us
that God is ever faithful to His promises. Our hope for eternal life promised
us shouldn’t die.
We may be experiencing some negative
things that are currently challenging our faiths. That notwithstanding, if we
know our God, our hope will be renewed every day. We can achieve this by daily
searching out God’s promises and laying hold of them as we pray. Don’t allow
uncertainties of life deem your hope rather rekindle it daily basis.
Food
for Thought:
Our hope for eternal life promised us shouldn’t die. Rekindle it on daily basis
as we await the return of our Saviour.
Memory
verse: 1
Peter 1 verse 3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
Prayer:
Help me, O Lord, to keep the hope of eternal life lively in me in Jesus name.
