We are instructed to walk by faith and not by sight. That is, we are considered righteous by faith while alive in this body. When we get to heaven, we won’t need faith but will see the result of our righteousness. This is not a suggestion to hold on until things get better. This is an instruction on just how to experience God’s eternal promise – by faith!

Jesus is the life of God. He is the essence and beauty of the Father. And His gift of eternal life is far superior to any threat of death in this natural body. Death isn’t the end for the believer. It’s actually the triumph of life as we enter our eternal promise!

Our blessed hope is the guarantee that one day Jesus will make everything right that is broken in this world. This is our great promise from God and brings us great courage to finish our race on this earth with joy, knowing that such a reward is just beyond this world.

Jesus is the message of eternal life. He is the confession of our hope, by whom the world has received a full pardon from their sins. There is no need to threaten people in an effort to get more love and good works out of them. Instead, preach the Gospel well, and lives will change!

The Holy Spirit is interested in one thing – reminding you of what Jesus accomplished in making you Right with God. As God’s love for you becomes the motivating factor in your daily living, you will find it easier and easier to walk in love with the world around you.

Jesus is the word of God. That is to say, He is the fulfillment of God’s message to the world that salvation was on the way! This New Covenant with God is one of rest and peace, not toil and pain. Because of what Jesus did, we can enjoy every moment of this life, knowing that God is with us!

As believers in the work of Christ, our confidence with God is built on only one thing – the work of Christ. Once the truth of Grace is received, it would be foolish to draw back to the old method of righteousness, which was entirely built on your effort. God’s grace is a miracle that should be celebrated from now to eternity!

God intends that every believer have a full assurance that their faith has received the prize of eternal life! Because of the forever-finished work of Jesus, you can walk boldly as God’s own, knowing that you are His forever-forgiven child!

God made covenant promise to all of mankind, that our sins would be forgiven through the work of the Christ. The oath, the surety, that this would come to pass, was between God and Himself. This is why you should be overwhelmingly confident in the finished work of the Cross!
