Our Hope of Glory
What hope of glory, of godliness, do we have? Do we have hope that one day, if we just try hard enough and make a detailed list and remember to pray and discipline ourselves, we’ll be godly?
No, our only hope of glory is the gospel. The incarnate, resurrected, and ascended Son of God, the Christ, lives in us. Christ is in us, and because he is, his godliness (the only godliness there is) is ours. This mysterious truth is the sweetest, most liberating truth you will ever know. Christ is in you; he’s your hope of glory.
