Read 2 Corinthians 5:1-8
One thing that we all must realize is that we are not eternal. We will not be forever young. To God, we are here today and gone tomorrow. In simple terms, we’re all going to die. But, don’t be all pessimistic and down because after our life here on earth, we will be living in heaven. That is, if we are in Christ. So when we face hardships and trials, we should not lose heart. Better is one day in God’s house and better is one day in His courts. With the New Covenant, we should be pursuing a life for God with faith and perseverance. Because one day, all believers will rise up with Jesus and the entire world will be judged. If we remain faithful, we know that we will live eternally with God the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. But how can we be sure that we’re saved? Look at verse 5. The presence of the Spirit in our lives is our guarantee! How amazing is that!
So no matter what, we should be strong and courageous. God is always with us even though we can not see Him or feel Him and his promises never fail. Verse 7 says, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
We do not believe the unbelievable, but we are sure of what God has in store for us in the future even though we can’t see the entire picture of it.
Let God’s promises be your encouragement.
