How do we learn more about this hope that we hold so dear? Simple – read the Word of God! The bible is completely filled with the message of hope that is found only in Christ Jesus. From the Old to the New Testament, the arrow continually points to the coming Messiah who came to us in the name of Jesus.
Those who claim to ‘believe in God’ but never read the very instruction manual He left for us seem to be like someone who says they love someone they’ve never met. You believe they appreciate, honor, and possibly idolize the person, but you know they don’t love them in the deep and lasting way you would love someone you are intimate with.
How do you establish a lasting and intimate relationship with Jesus? The same way you get to know and love someone you meet on the street – you spend time with them; talk to them… Think about it this way – if someone you were enamored with and wanted to know better handed you an autobiography of their life, wouldn’t you be interested in reading it?
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. (Romans 15:4)
Hope is a beautiful thing – get to know the One who gives us all true Hope by immersing yourself in His Autobiography!
