1 Thess 1:2-3
We always thank God for
all of you and pray for you constantly. 3 As we pray to our God and Father
about you, we think of your faithful work, your loving deeds, and the enduring
hope you have because of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Many people in the world who do not
have God do not have any hope for a better life or a better life to come; they
have to depend on the crumbling economic system of the world. We are not like
that. Jesus came to give us hope, and this hope is not just wishful thinking,
no, this hope is real because He has given us the Holy Spirit of promise as the
earnest for our inheritance. We have the Holy Spirit within us who fortifies
this hope for us, He is also the one who keeps us intact and preserves us in
this Hope of a coming kingdom and dominion of our lord who is the Christ.
What exactly is this hope? This hope
we talk about is the knowing inside you that one day, all will be well. Everything
in the universe will work according to plan without chaos or shortage of
resources, and you know that you will be part of that harmony. On this day, our
Lord Jesus will rule and reign as king over the kingdoms of the whole earth and
we will reign with Him as kings. This hope not only exists in the life to come
but also in this life we are living right now. The Holy Spirit who lives within
us makes good things happen to us and restrains the evil one from our lives. He
is our seal and guarantee so He does all these great things for us in
preserving us for the kingdom.
