Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. –1 Corinthians 15:49
Just as surely as I once had an Adam-like heart, I will have a Christlike heart. Just as surely as I was steeped in sin at birth, I will be steeped in the righteousness of Christ. I’m still struggling and stumbling and falling, but it won’t always be like this. Death will be swallowed up in victory– Christ’s death and resurrection guarantees it. I’m so glad my Savior purchased that for me.
So true – that the Christian journey is filled with moments of ‘struggling & stumbling’…soon all our striving will end in great reward. Without Christ’s death & resurrection the word ‘hope’ means nothing.
Thank you for the encouraging words!
