Ephesians 1:18(KJV) The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints...

A lot has been said and written about faith and love, but not as much about Hope. We all understand that if a person loses his faith, he has lost his spiritual life. And we also understand that if a person does not have love, it is a sign that he does not have faith in the first place because faith in God will always produce love. Out of the three dominant Christian attributes (faith, hope, and love) mentioned in 1 Cor 13:13, hope is the least talked about.

It is because of hope that we continue to have faith. One of the most important things God gives to us is hope. He does this by giving us the Holy Spirit who guarantees our inheritance. The Holy Spirit also causes us to experience a foretaste of the things to come.

The sad reality today is that many Christians have managed to survive eliminating the hope of our calling from their minds. They do not really look forward to the resurrection of the dead because they have been tricked into focusing on this present life and not on the kingdom. They forget that the best this present world order has to offer is but shadows when compared with what we will get when our bodies have been redeemed into the likeness of Christ.

Go into today remembering the hope of your calling into God’s kingdom. God is making sons in the image of Christ. This God’s grand design will be fully actualized when in the resurrection, we are changed to become exactly as Christ is. See 1 John 3:2.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you never lose sight of the hope of His calling.

—Abraham Damilola Arigi
