I once watched an extremely shocking video downloaded from the internet. It was of a prisoner being beheaded by his kidnappers. This video, and many like it, are a constant reminder to me that this world is truly messed up! It is fallen, ruined. But even though that is true, Christian people have thrilling, real, hope in Jesus Christ. Our salvation has already been purchased! Nothing can go wrong with the contract God has signed in His own blood! Even though God's people may face some shocking realities, like the one I mentioned above, even those realities are not enough to remove them from the glories God has purchased for them. The contract is final.
This doesn't mean that every event every Christian faces will be delightful, no, far from it. But is does mean that when the horror of sin is over, our safety net is the loving arms of God forever!
What a wonderful array of thought God has presented us with in Paul's letter to the Romans up to this point. And if all of these things are true--and they certainly are--then there are some life-changing conclusions to draw. It brings huge motivation, a huge sense of peace even in the face of danger, a satisfying sense of purpose in everything, a confidence that every Christian is totally loved and cared for by God in the most tender way. God's people truly are in a position to live like the man in the proverb, "The wicked run when no-one pursues, yet the righteous are as bold as a lion!"
