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.

COLOSSIANS 1:27

You and I can realize and experience the glory of God in our lives because of Christ in us. He is our hope of seeing better things.

The glory of God is His manifested excellence. As the children of God, we have an inheritance in Christ, a right to experience that manifested excellence. Satan furiously fights to deceive us. He wants us to believe we are incapable, unworthy, and disqualified from God’s best. That is why many look at themselves and feel defeated.

But if you’ll remember that because of Christ in you, you can experience the glory of God—the manifested excellence of God—you’ll live full of hope. You’ll press on toward better things each day of your life. Look past what you can do and focus on what God can do through you.

Are you ready to believe for an outpouring of God’s goodness and excellence in your life? God is looking for someone to be good to, so let it be you!

God’s best for you is on its way, so get excited and expect good things!
