DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Looking To The Future
Romans 8:15-18
"For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit [spirit] of adoption by whom we cry out "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the sons of God, and if children, then heirs – heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may be glorified together. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
When I was a kid and we moved from Independence to Lyons, I don't remember any sense of fear because I trusted my father. I only remember anticipation of the new life in Lyons. I do not fear the future after death because I know my Father has it all under control, and there is only glory that awaits the child of God. As an heir, I know that the riches of heaven will be mine, and I will live with anticipation of the glory of heaven. "Oh that will be glory for me. When by His grace I shall look on His face – that will be glory, glory for me."
TODAY'S THOUGHT: As heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, the Christian looks forward with anticipation – not fear – to death.
