2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Can I ask what your future is looking like? If we go by what the media tells us, or what the bank balance says, or the doctor’s report you might tell me your future according to those, and it could be a bit uncertain. If that is the case then I have some really good news today.
We might think we are citizens of the country we were born into, but that was the old us, we are now a new creation in Jesus and we were translated into His Kingdom of light, our citizenship is now in heaven. Ephesians 2:19…you are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.
1 Peter 2:9-10 …for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. …Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people….
We have already experienced some of the glory, we are chosen, we now have a new identity as one of God’s people and we’re eagerly waiting for our Saviour to come for us because we’re members of God’s family. How glorious is that!🙂
Psalm 84:11 …No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. Our God is for us and we can walk daily into the good things He has for us. Our future is goodness to goodness, glory to glory.
Now if anyone asks, we can say our future is looking great thanks very much. Jesus has gone ahead and is preparing us a dwelling (John 14:2), we have an inheritance stored up for us (1 Peter 1:4) and we have all the privileges of being a citizen of heaven, both in heaven and now and the more we look at Jesus the more we’re being transformed to be like Him, glory to glory. It doesn’t really get any better than that!😊 Thank You Lord.
