As an outpouring of their trust in Christ Jesus as Savior, a little band of believers demonstrated a deep love for all the saints of Christ. How this rejoiced the heart of the apostle Paul, who kept this group of Christian believers continually in his prayers. The faith of this little congregation was anchored upon the message of truth; the good news of Christ, the gospel of the grace of God that Christ died for our sins and rose again to secure for who believe in Him, an eternal home reserved for us in heaven. Praise God that we too have heard about this message of truth and placed our trust in the finished work of Christ. Praise God that we have Christ, the hope of glory, in us. Praise God that the Holy Spirit has sealed us, and set us apart for God. Praise God that we are eagerly awaiting His appearing: "Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ." May our faith in Him overflow in love for our brothers and sisters in Christ, knowing that our hope in Him is reserved for us in heaven, for this is God's message of truth to us all. Colossians 1:5 the faith and love that spring from the Hope Stored Up For You In Heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we have heard and responded to the gospel of grace and that by believing in Jesus, we have a hope reserved for us in heaven. May this blessed hope overflow in an unshakable trust in Your Word of truth and a deep love for all the Body of Christ. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.

Paul prayed often for the saints in Thessalonica and gave joyful thanks as he recalled, unceasingly, the godly characteristics they displayed that so honored the Lord. He thanked God for their work which was energized by faith, their service which was motivated by love, and their unwavering hope in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith that justifies is a work of the Spirit in the heart of a man or woman who has trusted Christ's finished work on the Cross. Faith that justifies takes place at one moment in time, when Christ is made the object of our faith. Laboring in love is prompted by the knowledge that all we are and all we have is from the Lord. The more we know of God's goodness and grace towards us, the more we are prompted to labor in love for the Lord. The third virtue of the Thessalonians was the steadfastness of their future hope in the Lord Jesus. When with patience, we steadfastly hope in the Lord and stand firm on the promises of God, we have an inner-assurance in His Word of truth, for God has placed His Word above His holy name. Our steadfast hope in the Lord is the unshakable conviction that the Bible is sure. May remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father. May Our Work Of Faith be actively dependent on Him. May our labor of love become a living sacrifice that honors our Father in thought, word, and deed, and may the steadfastness of our hope in Christ Jesus our Lord, stimulate others to work the works of faith, to labor in love, and to remain steadfast in the blessed hope we have in the Lord Jesus, in the presence of our God and Father. 1 Thessalonians 1:3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the reminder we gain from the lives of the Thessalonian Christians whose work of faith, labor of love, and steadfast hope in the Lord Jesus Christ, is such a beautiful example of Godly living that honors You. We pray that we may grow in grace and in knowledge of Christ Jesus our Savior and do all for Your greater praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. To Rejoice In HOPE is to have that unfaltering assurance in God's Word as fact, knowing that our hope of glory is secured for us in heavenly places for the eternal ages to come, simply because God's Word is true and cannot be broken. Our hope is built on nothing less than trusting in the Cross of Christ and taking God at His Word. To be patient in tribulation is to know and accept that in this world we will have tribulation, but to wait patiently in our suffering without murmurings. We are to be of good cheer, knowing that His strength is sufficient to see us through every difficulty of life because He has already overcome sin and death – and we are united with Him and His victory. To be constant in prayer is to recognize that prayer is one of the chief weapons of the spiritual warfare in which all Christians are engaged. As saints of God we should all be instant in prayer, constantly lifting our hearts and voice to the Lord in prayers of thanks and praise and intercession and requests, and laying them before the throne of God's grace in the name of JESUS - knowing that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. Romans 12:12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, thank You for the Word of God and the godly instructions that are laid out for the Church in the letters of Paul. Please help us to rejoice in hope, endure in tribulation, and persevere in prayer, as we press on to the goal of our calling. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. Of all the gifts and graces that are poured out in great abundance into the lives of believers, there are three that out-shine and out-last all others. When prophecy is complete, languages cease, signs are silenced, and miracles of health, healing, provision, and protection are no longer needed. We are told that these three spiritual fruits of God’s amazing grace will continue and will remain and abide into the eternal state: faith, hope, and love. But love is a gift of God, and love is the primary a fruit of the Spirit that will continue to grow and expand beyond our wildest imaginations. The love of God that has been poured into our hearts will continue to increase and multiply, The love of God is eternal, and the love of God is broader than the measure of our mind. The loving heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. Our faith in Him will stand fast forever, and our hope in Him will be forever realized. But it is the love of God that He has for us that will move us ever closer to the love that we have for Him as we abide in Him and He in us, through time and into eternity. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Our United Prayer:
Thank You Father for Your gift of salvation by grace alone, simply because we believe in Your Son. Thank You for the hope that is set before us and thank You for the love of the Lord Jesus, which was demonstrated to us on a wooden cross, over 2000 years ago. May His love flood our hearts and pour through us into the lives of others, that they may know Your love, have faith in Your finished work and receive that blessed hope in their hearts, that only comes from You, in Jesus name we Pray, AMEN. To Rejoice In Hope is to have that unfaltering assurance in God's Word as fact, knowing that our hope of glory is secured for us in heavenly places for the eternal ages to come, simply because God's Word is true and cannot be broken. Our hope is built on nothing less than trusting in the Cross of Christ and taking God at His Word. To be patient in affliction is to know and accept that in this world we will have tribulation, but to wait patiently in our suffering without murmurings. We are to be of good cheer, knowing that His strength is sufficient to see us through every difficulty of life because He has already overcome sin and death – and we are united with Him and His victory. To be constant in prayer is to recognize that prayer is one of the chief weapons of the spiritual warfare in which all Christians are engaged. As saints of God we should all be instant in prayer, constantly lifting our hearts and voice to the Lord in prayers of thanks and praise and intercession and requests, and laying them before the throne of God's grace in the name of JESUS - knowing that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. Let us exercise all Paul's short, crisp instructions for godly living that are found in this final section of His letter to the Romans, as well as taking time to study this lengthy and weighty letter that has been written for our learning so that we too may live a life that is pleasing to the Lord. And may Christ be seen in me, and also in you. Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, thank You for the Word of God and the godly instructions that are laid out for the Church in the letters of Paul. Please help us to rejoice in hope, endure in tribulation, and persevere in prayer, as we press on to the goal of our calling. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. |
