The Lord’s
way of hope produce newness of being and power for living.
When we walk
the narrow path of God’s righteousness by being self-controlled and
self-disciplined we have power.
Our
self-control and self-discipline enable us to possess a newness of being and a
power for living.
Our
self-control and self-discipline is the container in which the Lord’s hope
resides.
Because the Father sent Christ Jesus into the world, we have a hope beyond any kind of
earthly hope we have ever known.
To possess
the hope of God there is a requirement.
To possess
the hope of God you must, using your self-control and self-discipline,
unfailingly and unflinchingly walk God’s narrow path.
When we
start doing the wrong thing, the power we have for living starts slipping away.
The
resulting in guilt alone renders us hopeless.
On a
personal level, unless you live a holy, devout, and clean life there is no
hope.
There is no
hope for us in this earthly life except for the hope we have for living eternally
in Christ.
