Step 3 of Our transformation| Day Three: HOPE

HOPE

Throughout our journey, we've discovered a hope that endures—steadfast and unwavering.

God doesn't promise an easy life, but He promises to walk with us through every storm, providing strength and all that we need.

 Hebrews 4:15-16 (NKJV):"For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

What God offers isn't fleeting happiness but enduring joy that persists despite sorrow. This is the essence of true contentment.

Philippians 4:11-13 (NIV): "I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength."

Our hope is anchored not only in overcoming earthly trials but also in the assurance of eternal life with God. In the grand scheme of things, earthly life is brief compared to eternity.

Romans 8:17-18 (NLT): "And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later."

Have you considered where you will spend eternity? I hope it's with me and Jesus.

It's quite simple. Who do you believe Jesus is? Do you believe that Jesus is God? 

John 10:30 (NIV):"I and the Father are one."

Do you believe that God sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross as a sacrifice for your sins?

"For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16 (NLT)

Our God is inclusive; He invites everyone, regardless of their past or present, because He desires to spend eternity with you. He wants you to choose Him, and He loves you enough to give you that choice.

If you have never told Jesus that you believe in Him and want to be part of His family, pray this prayer with me:

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for loving me. I admit I am a sinner and ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus died for my sins and rose again. I repent and turn from my old ways. Come into my life, and transform me. I want to follow you and live for you. Thank you for saving me and giving me eternal life. I know you desire relationship, not religion. Help me to know you more and to walk with you every day.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
