The hope of Jesus' coming makes a difference now because it spurs us to walk in light of who we are, Anticipate what we will be, and battle against what we once were.

God's goodness and truth gets twisted in our world. Only when we surrender our lives to Jesus and let the Holy Spirit direct our steps can we stay on course.

God's compelling love leads those who've received it to treasure obeying God's Word and love your brother or sister, even when it's difficult.
