Believe On Jesus!
Holy Spirit always gives us encouragement to draw close to God; to move on upwards
in our heavenly calling and in living a life based on love. He does not remind us
of our sins or unrighteousness - it's Satan who is the accuser of the brethren.
Holy Spirit also makes us to be filled with and abound in Joy, Peace and Hope by
His power in us.
Romans 15:12 And again, Isaiah says: "There shall be
the root of Jesse; and He that shall rise to rule over the Gentiles, in Him
the Gentiles shall hope." 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all
joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the
Holy Spirit.
God has a plan for each and every one of us and to carry out that plan He has
provided us with all the power needed through Holy Spirit. We thus are able to
have Joy and Peace as we follow Jesus. We know that He who is in us is greater
than He who is in the world! Therefore we abound in Godly Hope - The assured
expectation of good!
So having been given our own part in God's "ministry of reconciliation" we do
not faint but rather abound in Hope. Just as Jesus' part of the plan was all
about good news so is ours and it's powered by Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 5:18 All this is from God, who through
Christ reconciled us to Himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself, not
counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of
reconciliation.
That 'hope' that we have because of God's grace, we are to abound in and pass on
to others. We have a future and a 'hope', knowing that God is not imputing our
sins against us. Believe on Jesus and you too will receive Holy Spirit and be
filled with 'joy' and 'peace' and and abound in 'hope' and the 'power' to live
pleasing to Him.
Best wishes for Grace and the Peace of Jesus.
Attlee.
