Romans 5:2, Hope of the Glory of God

Posted on Posted in Devotions Tagged with , ,

Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

The child of God is confident of his good standing before God through Jesus Christ. He has assurance in his heart that God will always do him good. As Solomon testified in  Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. The richness of spiritual blessings in Christ is to be experienced on earth, here and now, but the best is yet to come. The splendour and beauty of blessings in heaven cannot be fully comprehended. When we travel to different places, we marvel at the beauty of God’s creation. This will pale to the glories of heaven. God would give us a supernatural body to enjoy the perfect splendour of heaven in eternity. We cannot fully fathom this great privilege now. We catch glimpses of it through the eyes of Scripture. This is the third blessing of being a child of God. Greater blessing is yet future and this is a sure hope!

Saved by Grace

Someday the silver cord will break,

And I no more as now shall sing;

But O joy when I shall wake

Within the palace of the King!

Chorus

And I shall see Him face to face,

And tell the story – Saved by grace;

And I shall see Him face to face,

And tell the story Saved by grace.

May the meditation upon this third blessing bringing you great encouragement to press on in life. Amen.
