About the Lord’s way of hope…

1 Peter 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (NIV)
The Lord’s way is the way of hope. The Lord’s way of hope produces in us a newness of being and a power for living. When we walk the narrow path of God’s righteousness by being self-controlled and self-disciplined we have power. Our self-control and self-discipline enable us to possess a newness of being and a power for living. Our self-control and self-discipline is the container in which the Lord’s hope resides. Because God the Father sent Christ Jesus into the world, we have a hope beyond any kind of earthly hope ever known. To possess the hope of God there is a requirement. To possess the hope of God you must, using your self-control and self-discipline, unfailingly and unflinchingly walk God’s narrow path. To possess the hope of God and possess a power for living, you must consistently and constantly do the right thing. When we start doing the wrong thing, the power we have for living starts slipping away. The resulting guilt alone renders us hopeless. On a personal level, unless you live a holy, devout, and clean life there is no hope. There is no hope in this earthly life except the hope we have for living eternally in Christ.
