“Never Lose Hope”

“Never Lose Hope”

Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping-believing that he would become the father of many nations.  For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!”  Romans 4:18

 

Now, let us take a look at this PROMISE that God made to Abraham.  If we go back up to verse 13, it tells us that: “Clearly, God’s Promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based NOT on his OBEDIENCE to God’s Law, but on a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with God that comes by FAITH.”  

Let’s look at this PROMISE, it started with God promising Abraham and his wife Sarah a SON, which would come from them both, and that Sarah would be the one to give BIRTH to this baby.  The MIRACULOUS thing about this PROMISE is Abraham was about 100 yrs. Old, and Sarah was 90 years old.  They MUST HAVE had DOUBTS about this, and they did.  But the fact is that God kept His PROMISE and Sarah, eventually gave birth to a SON, just as God had PROMISED.  

And Abraham NEVER WAVERED in BELIEVING GOD’S PROMISE.  In fact, Abraham’s FAITH grew STRONGER, and in this he brought GLORY to GOD.  He was TOTALLY CONVINCED that GOD is ABLE to do WHATEVER HE PROMISES.  And because of Abraham’s FAITH, God counted him as RIGHTEOUS. And this PROMISE was a MAJOR ELEMENT in the PROMISE that GOD made to Abraham that he would become the FATHER of ALL who BELIEVE.  

Those who have given their HEART and LIFE to GOD and have FAITH and HOPE that GOD IS ABLE to do WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DO.  And that He will KEEP His PROMISES to those who TRULY BELIEVE and have the HOPE and FAITH that they will ONE DAY receive the FULFILLMENT of the PROMISE of an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS.  And they will NOT EXPERIENCE an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once they are there. That is set aside for ALL UNBELIEVERS.  

Have YOU given your HEART and LIFE to God, through His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST?  If NOT, you will EXPERIENCE an ETERNITY in HELL, and MISS the CELEBRATION of the HOMECOMING of ALL GOD’S CHILDREN, the BLESSED HOPE of the REDEEMED.  You have the OPPORTUNITY NOW to CHANGE your DESTINY by:  ADMITTING that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE your SOUL from that ETERNITY in HELL. You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God. You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and DON’T LOSE HOPE!!!  Do this NOW, while you STILL can!!  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
