Abounding in Christ May 18 of Abounding in Christ

Become true children of God

Great things are in store for all who love God, who walk in faith and who abound with hope.

Hope because it keeps us enthused about the things of God when the going gets difficult and rough.

Faith because it transforms our lives and invokes the power of God's grace to purify and purge our lives from sin and rebellion.

Love because it instills into our spirit, soul and mind warm feelings of heart toward God and others, joy unspeakable, peace that passes all understanding, patience to endure the trials, goodness to refresh our life, kindness to make us merciful and temperance to subdue anger and malice.

By these three we can become true children of God, joint heirs with Christ of Heaven's everlasting treasures and glory.
