Our security and hope
“The anchors of hope are cast upward into the heavenlies, not backward into history or downward into circumstance.” — Eli Stanley Jones
This is so true. My anchor is Jesus who is in the heavenlies, who I hold onto tightly and He holds onto me. History and current circumstances can never promise anything regarding hope, peace and security. Our security does not come from ourselves or the praise of others or because of what we achieve. It comes from our Creator, Jesus, Who is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Son of God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords. He’s the promised Messiah, the Great I Am because He’s always existed and always will. HE’S EVERYTHING!
How can we look to ourselves or others for our own security and our anchor of hope? We are so imperfect and sinful. Jesus is completely Perfect and loves us so much…He was sent by God the Father to earth to shed His blood and die on the cross for our sins and their penalties, so IF we confess and repent of our sins and put our trust/faith in His death on the cross for us and in His resurrection that conquered death so that He can give us forever forgiveness for past, present and future sins and Eternal Life. What a forever GIFT of God’s Grace and Mercy we can have if we will stop looking to ourselves and decide to look to Jesus! What a Perfect Anchor He is! What a Perfect Savior He is!!!
“Thank You, God the Father for sending Your Son Jesus to earth and thank You, Jesus the Son for Your obedience by dying for us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Without this, all of mankind would end up in Hell because of unforgiven sin. Now we can choose Jesus who is Life and Truth! Please choose Jesus!!! Please see yourself as a sinner in need of a Savior, Jesus Christ. He’s the only way to forgiveness and Eternal Life in Heaven! REALLY!!!
