Heirs of the Father:

            Hope of His calling:

Ephesians 1:18

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

            Many people in the world have no hope. We as Christians have an exceedingly great hope. We have that hope because Jesus went before us. We believe that He died and rose again. If He did, then we will. If we don’t believe that He did, then we have no hope and are most to be pitied in the world. However we do believe and through that belief we know that one day we shall rise again. This verse also talks about the riches of the glory of His inheritance in us, the saints. If it is His glory, think what that will mean for us! Anything having to do with His glory is far beyond our imagination. If man could imagine what His glory will bring, then it wouldn’t be a glory befitting the God of the universe. Remember that He didn’t call us just to leave us. He called us to glory.

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "My children, there is no hope in the world. There is only hope in Me; and that Hope is the hope of the world; for there is no other way to Me than through that entrance. You have that Hope residing in you; for you have entered into the Kingdom of God. There is no other way to Me than through that entrance. And that entrance is through the blood. That Hope is of glory and honor through Me. You have all glory through Me and all honor through Me. In Me you have all that is necessary for the Kingdom of God. You will walk in glory and honor is this world and the next as you allow Me to bring it about. You will have all peace in Me in this age and in the next. Through Me you will be glorious and will achieve all excellence.”

            17. Because He called me, I can have a glorious hope in Him. It is a hope that will not disappoint.
