How grateful I am for the presence of Jesus in my heart and life, now and eternally! Christ is the "author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2) through which believers gain access to God's grace and receive His precious gift of everlasting life. Now, we walk by faith and not by sight, but one day we will see our Lord and Savior face to face and spend eternity with Him. What a most wonderful hope that we have in Jesus Christ! Praise God!
Jesus said in John 16:33, "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Despite the troubles and trials that are a reality of life in a fallen world, faith in Jesus Christ gives every believer ultimate triumph over their temporal earthly circumstances and the assurance of an eternal heavenly home in our Lord's presence. By God's grace through trust in Jesus' supreme sacrifice for our sins, we are reborn spiritually and become new creations in Christ with transformed hearts that desire to love and serve and renewed minds that seek to do God's will, not our own. Good will ultimately overcome evil; faith in Christ is the victory that overcomes the world! Paul said in reference to Jesus in Romans 8:37, "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."
