Theme for the Week: THE BENEFITS OF JUSTIFICATION: PEACE WITH GOD AND HOPE OF GLORY
Reading: Colossians 1:25-27
_______________________
Colossians 1:27 (KJV)
to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
We are still looking at the benefits of justification. Justification is simply an act of grace that sets a person right with God. This is because by the virtue of God, He imputes His righteousness on the individual without him/her having worked any act of righteousness.
This, we have learnt, can only be achieved through faith in Jesus Christ. When Christ comes into us, He aligns us with the plans of God; plans for a glorious future, both in this world and the next.
Therefore, when the storm, pestilence, and all kinds of evil hit the world, and affect us as we are in the world, we have this great hope that against all odds, there is a glory ahead of us; and so we are not moved. We know that Christ is in us to navigate us to the glory.
Hallelujah!
Let's Pray:
Almighty God, we thank You. Lord, may our faith be built in nothing less than in Jesus Christ, that we may have Him in us to give us hope for the glory You have prepared for us. Amen.
