Verse of the Day (March 10, 2020) #BMSeminary – Whatever befalls us, as long as we are looking to Christ as Lord we cannot finally be harmed. The good life is the hard life of trusting Christ. In the gospel we have been promised an unfathomable inheritance, ours freely for the taking, all because of the grace of God. This is “the hope that is in [us]” (v. 15), through which we can quietly endure all things. We await an eternal glory that will make the hardships of this life, though genuinely painful, ultimately have the significance of a scratch on the penny of a millionaire (Rom. 8:18; 2 Cor. 4:16–18). Our calling now is to “honor Christ the Lord as holy” in our hearts (1 Pet. 3:15), knowing that when eternity is secured by this commitment, all other concerns become slight in comparison. (Gospel Transformation Study Bible)
