No More Wars | July 25th

 “Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared.”

   1 John 3:2

  We have contemplated this verse for a few days, thinking of the different ways in which we will be different when all things are made new. That which awaits us is beyond what we can imagine, yet its reality is true as any experience of today.

  What is a painful reality to us in this life is the struggle with our sinful nature and the temptations from without. We are vexed inwardly and outwardly. From the time we are aware of right and wrong to our final hour, temptations are present.

  The day is coming, beloved, when we will no longer struggle with the enemy of our soul or our flesh. The full work of redemption will be realized and enjoyed for all of eternity. We will know peace like we have never experienced in this life. So do not lose heart, the reward is just ahead. The enemy will be fully annihilated, and we will enter into that final rest. The armor will no longer be needed, and we will worship our Lord forevermore. Praising Him for the victory won on our behalf.

In Christ Alone.
