Hebrews 10:23 (NASB)
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;
When the storms of life appear we have a anchor for the soul which is to be our confession. For the confession to have strength and see us through, it has to be a confession of truth that we have heard or learned from God inwardly. These truth(s) that God has revealed to our inner man, it is these truths that will weather the storms of life. Putting our faith in something that we have not seen inwardly will be like building on sinking sand, it will eventually fail. There will be no abiding strength in that confession, for it is not a firm foundation, for it is not based on what the believer has been taught inwardly by God, but by human reasoning.
For God’s words are Spirit and Life, but they are only Spirit and Life if they come directly from the Spirit of God to the heart of the believer. These are the words that are Spirit and Life, God’s words quickened directly to the heart of each and every believer. These are the words of our confessions. These are the words we are to hold fast to. These words that have been quickened by God Himself to our hearts.
As we grow and mature in Christ these confessions will grow, get deeper, as our relationship with Christ grows. Oh it is a blessed thing to grow into a deeper confession of hope.
“confession of our hope”
Romans 8:24 (NASB)
For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?
“For in hope we have been saved”
This is why it is a awesome thing to grow in the hope of our confession, for this is the proof of Christ being formed in us or the fruits of the Spirit being manifested for both truths speak of the same manifestation of Christ being our lives.
For we have been saved in hope, as our personal relationship with Christ grows so does our hope in making our calling and election sure. By virtue and the fruit of this relationship growing our hope in God grows and we know by personal experience that He that has called us is faithful and will complete the work He has begun in us.
Oh the blessedness of a life given up to God that He would be the believers “all in all”
Oh for such a heart as this, let us volunteer before God to say;
“here am I Lord God, be it unto me according to your word”
Revelation 12:11a (NASB)
"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony,~~~~~~~~~~~~”.
~~~(my paraphrase) ~~~
“And they overcame, by the life of the Lamb (in them) and their confession of hope.”~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blessings,
Much love in Christ, Not me
