“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Rom 5:1-5
How incredible is the hope we have been given in Jesus and have the privilege to share with those around us, family, friends, colleague and strangers! We have been promised that in joyful and in difficult situations the hope we have in Jesus will not put us to shame, he will not let us go or leave us, because the love of God through Holy Spirit has been poured into our hearts. Praise God that we have peace, a restored relationship with him through Jesus. May we pray for the courage and joy to share this peace with others.
