The core of the gospel of Jesus Christ is 'faith motivated by love'; it is the hope of receiving the righteousness of Christ by pure and simple faith.
"Messages of Hope and Inspiration" is a compilation of articles that are based on the doctrine that teaches that the righteousness of God for humanity is received by faith alone, and manifested by the quality of the changed lives. This is the only way to salvation from sin, which God, the Eternal Father, has provided in Jesus Christ. There are eminent blessings to be found within these covers. I pray you will find them all.
“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory…” (Col 1:27)
“And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” “For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.” “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”“For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.” “And now abides faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” “But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.” (Rom 5:5; 8:24, 25; 15:4; 15:13) (Gal 5:5) (1 Cor 13:13) (1 Th 5:8)
In the heart of everyone who believes the Gospel, is hope. Faith brings hope—hope in God’s love for us, hope in His salvation.
Whatever I write about the gospel of Jesus Christ, is influenced by that hope in me,—hope that inspires me to tell about the evidences I have found in His words, which is the central core in the messages of God to humanity; God loves us.
All His messages to us bring hope in its trail. ‘I love you; repent and turn to me so I can heal you from sin. I want you to live with me forever! I want you to be happy.
Please! Let me bless you…’ is all they seem to say in all the messages God has sent to me, and to you, in His words. This gives me hope and encouragement, and strengthens the relationship between the Lord and me.
As I muse upon these messages embedded in the Word of God, often I would write the thoughts that open new perspectives–insights to me. I would write them and save them wherever I can retrieve them, and often read them again and again, to find encouragement in those hours when I feel the pressing challenges of this life.
Many die with untold sorrows and unhappiness, but very few there are that perish with unexpressed happiness and joy. I must confess that I find it difficult to keep these thoughts, and the views that have brought me so much encouragement and enlightenment, all to myself.
It is a natural thing to want to share just about anything that makes one happy or joyful—no matter how small it may be—and where else can anyone find true happiness and continual joy than in that relationship with God, where there is complete trust and hope in His words?
It is my intention to share my perspectives and joys with you, and I hope that as you read, you will find and realize these blessings, as I have also found them.
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ…” “And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure” “That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 2:13) (1 John 3:3) (Titus 3:7)
