Scripture Reading: Colossians 1:4-5
“Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints, because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel.”

Reflections: In his letter to the Colossians, Paul emphasizes that their strong faith and love stem from the hope they have in what God has prepared for them in heaven. This hope, Paul explains, was revealed to them through the gospel, leading to their salvation. This passage highlights two important truths. First, it reminds us that our ultimate destination—eternity with Christ in heaven—is central to the message of salvation. Second, it shows us that this future hope has the power to transform how we live today. Your confident hope in God’s eternal reward will shape your character and guide your daily life. Embrace this game changer and continue moving forward with purpose and faith.

Prayer: Lord, let the hope of heaven guide and shape my life.

Confession: My confident hope in my eternal future with Christ shapes my life.
