Hope found in Jesus Christ

There is this hope that I found in Jesus Christ. I know that this is not all there is to life. Is our purpose and meaning of life simply just created out of our own wants and desires. Is study, work, friendship and family all there is to life? Who or what gave me this breath that I breathe and this heart that beats? Am I just a formation of atoms and matter or is there an intelligent mind behind it all?

I found this hope in Jesus Christ, a promise of eternity with the One who created me. As marvelous as this world we are in may seem, a greater place awaits us. For your word says "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." What is life on earth as compared as to in heaven where we spend eternity with you? But you called me to live this life for your glory's sake and so will I do my best while clinging on to you and your word.

I have found this hope in Jesus Christ, where I can no longer be separated from God. It is written, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

As much as we would like to think that we are good, the truth is we have all sinned against God. No one can claim to be righteous before God. But the good news is this. When we trust God’s grace to save us through the work of Jesus, our sins are forgiven, we get a purpose for living, and we’re promised a future home in Heaven. And this is the beauty of it, we are saved by grace through faith. This is a gift of God and not something that we can work for, so that no one can boast.

“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”

If the above prayer reflects the desire of your heart, do say it out, meaning the words that you say. After which, you will begin this amazing journey of a relationship with the Almighty God!
