Our society has two phases of hope: rubble & despair or a movement toward something-self-discovery. These phases are empty with nothing to build upon. Romans 8 tells us to groan for the hope that is in heaven. Do you live in between 2 ages: present & the future. In the present we have suffering and ordinary frustrations of suffering & death. In the future we see the glory of God. We are given the fruits of the spirit to have between the ages. We also have the victory of resurrection. Do not place your hope in this world. Refuse despair. In the groaning of hope, we have incomplete salvation and should long for the future. Grab holt of Jesus Christ who is our hope in heaven. Wait eagerly! We must pray for patience for the gospel is what we have to rely on. All of this is to conform us to Jesus so we may be earthly good. We can be instruments of mercy & holiness in the likeness of Christ.
