Blameless

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:23

When we think about our imperfections and all the mistakes we make every day, it seems impossible to imagine that what this verse in Thessalonians says could one day come true. But the reality is that it will: on the day the Lord comes to take us to Himself, He will see us as completely sanctified and blameless.

How is this possible? The emphasis of this verse is not on us, but on our God of peace. It is He who, in His immense grace, makes us holy. The only thing we must do is receive His precious gift of forgiveness and salvation through Jesus and remain steadfast in Him.

When our spirit is filled with the Holy Spirit of God, His desires and will become ours. His thoughts guide our own, and our bodies move in obedience to God’s commandments. With Him as King, we begin to live a life of holiness.

He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
- 2 Timothy 1:9

If you have not yet surrendered your entire life to God, if you have kept a few small kingdoms for yourself so that you can do as you please, decide today to give yourself completely to the Lord. Let Him sanctify you entirely and live the life He desires for you. You will not regret it!

It is good to imitate what is good

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
- 3 John 1:11

In this passage, John writes to Gaius and advises him: do not imitate the wicked, but the good. It seems simple, but imitating what is good requires effort and dedication.

There are many subtle influences in society that lead us to do things that do not please God. For example, telling “harmless” lies that supposedly do not hurt anyone. It is something we sometimes do because it seems acceptable, but it is not something that pleases God.

However, the Bible says: “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.” (Proverbs 12:22). It is very clear what we should do.

Being imitators of Christ also has its difficulties, that’s true. Following Jesus requires effort, pursuit, and much dedication to the Word of God. Yet every effort is rewarded with the very grace of the Father and the companionship of the Holy Spirit. Imitating what is good brings blessings to your life that is what we should choose.

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse, the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today;
- Deuteronomy 11:26-27

Seek to do good; strive to follow the right path. Whoever does good belongs to God!

Place your hope firmly in God

Hope is the confidence that an expectation or desire will be fulfilled. If we believe in the Lord and trust that our plans and dreams will come to pass through Him, we must keep the flame of hope burning brightly.

Hope is the second of the three virtues (faith, hope, and love) that will remain until the end (1 Corinthians 13:13). And it will only withstand all adversity if we remain steadfast in trust and love for God, through the power of the Spirit:

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- Romans 15:13

For your hope to grow, you need a solid foundation. What is the best foundation? Money? Family? Career? Health? All these things can fail. The only firm foundation is God. God never fails. He is eternal, all-powerful, and has a good plan for your life.

When you cannot see a solution, place your hope in God. If you feel your hope fading, ask God to fill you with faith, love, joy, and peace in Jesus Christ! He is our sure hope.

But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
- Psalm 39:7
