How to Act Like a True Christian – Digging Deep Into Romans 12:9-21
“Rejoice in Hope”
Romans 12:12a
Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today. Remember to read the entire passage.
1 Peter 1:3-5
- Who is our only hope (John 3:16).
- What does it mean to you that we have a living hope (Luke 24:46-49)?
- If you know Jesus, your hope is certain. How does 1 Peter 1:4 describe you inheritance?
- In John 14:1-3 Jesus himself tells us about what we have to look forward to. Write down what he is preparing for you.
- This gives us much to rejoice about. Our hope is certain our place is prepared. We should live with an attitude of Joy clinging to our true Hope… Jesus. Praise Him now for His gift to us, and ask the Lord to maintain in you a joyful hope.
- Remember… this world puts it’s hope in “things.” Their hope is dead. Let us show today in our actions and attitudes what it means to have a living hope in Jesus Christ.
Praying that the God of hope will fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (paraphrase of Romans 15:13)
