HOPE OF GLORY

Col 1:27

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

“To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ within and among you, the Hope of [realizing the] glory.” (AMP)

One definition of glory in the dictionary is “the height, the peak or zenith of prosperity and achievement”. The scriptures say Christ in you, anyone, irrespective of race, gender or whatever gives you the hope of getting to the zenith of life. 

If Christ in you gives you the hope, then faith will make that hope a reality. This is because faith is responsible for making hope a reality. What I am saying today is that anyone in Christ has potential to be great, to be somebody, to be successful and to get to the top. It’s there in everyone that is in Christ Jesus, but what makes the difference is the faith of the individual. 

In the book of Hebrews chapter Eleven we have a cataloguing of certain individuals who distinguished themselves by their faith. We call them heroes of faith. The distinguishing characteristic in them all was their faith. This is what living by faith will do to you also. It will distinguish you, set you apart and make you distinct.
