The only real hope a person can have must be in Jesus Christ. He is the only way by which we can be saved and gain entry to Father God. Relationship with Him saves you from eternal wrath and damnation and helps you mature and be sanctified for greater use by Him while you’re on earth as a means for being a blessing to other people, leading them to Him, and helping usher them into the same eternal life and heavenly home that He provides you.
You appropriate that hope when you declare Him your Savior and LORD accepting the gift of death by crucifixion by which His blood was shed that you might choose life and not eternal death. The hope is made real by His resurrection from the dead as the firstborn of many brethren (everyone who believes in Him). At the point you first believe, you know you’ll see your redeemer face to face at the Judgment Seat of Christ and spend eternity with Him, whereas all those that refuse to believe in Him will see Him face to face at the Great White Throne Judgment and receive according to His love what their actions showed they desired – eternal damnation with torment.
Your believing spirit desires to help your friends and family be born again in Christ and discipled, so they can also receive an eternal inheritance. When they freely accept Jesus, they live in this hope and there is no chasm that separates them like heaven’s citizens are separated from hell’s inhabitants.
Naturally speaking, everyone hopes to avoid catastrophes and to have all their financial needs and some of their desires met. Your natural hope can be experienced but with some trials, tribulations, and suffering along the way. However, these obstacles strengthen your faith, which comes from hope in Christ, in order to make you patient by trusting in God for what you can’t positively change or influence and by waiting on Him (consistently taking the actions you know to be good according to His Word) to bring forth the perfect work He desires in you.
You will shortly see what you hope for when you put biblical principles such as tithing, planning, budgeting, debt-free living, and saving into action. Your disposable income and net worth will increase much sooner than you ever thought possible and this will allow you to greatly support Kingdom ministry and take care of all your family obligations.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
