Daniel #92 The Certain Hope of Believers #1

Reformed Presbytery in North America

Our bodily resurrection gives us hope in this life to persevere in faithfulness to Christ and His truth inall trials/suffering/tribulation, for at the end of this world, we will be conformed to Christ in body/soul.Our certain hope transcends even the great heights of reformation in the world which is to come to allnations when they will be converted to Christ. That is just the beginning. Our end and certain hope are in thepromise of Christ that He will raise us bodily to live in perfect communion with Him and to serve Him in a NewHeaven and a New Earth wherein dwells only righteousness/peace/joy/love and freedom from all temptationand sin. That is our end/hope—perfect and everlasting communion with the Lord Jesus in body/soul.Let's consider that certain hope that is found in Christ alone. Our main points over the next coupleweeks are: (1) The Resurrection of the Dead (Daniel 12:2); (2) The New Heaven and the New Earth (Daniel12:3).
