But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Romans 8:25 ESV
To the carnal mind, it makes no sense to keep waiting and hoping for something intangible, especially something that takes a long time to arrive, but the promises of God are certain. Our faith in God isn’t worth very much if we give up on him when his promises take longer to fulfill than we expected. What kind of faith would that be? We can’t see the tops of the sails yet, but we know the ship is on its way, somewhere beyond the horizon.
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?
Romans 8:24 ESV
Paul’s hope is in the resurrection and the restoration of all Creation. If there is no resurrection, to what are we saved? There is no ultimate purpose in worshiping and obeying our Creator, beyond the basic self-interest of a better life, but “better” is relative.
Is it better to be poor and sick with good relationships or to be healthy and rich with shallower friendships? Of course, a godly man chooses righteousness, regardless of the material cost, but the hope of a resurrection into eternity clarifies the distinction between those two possible “betters”.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Romans 8:18 ESV
Atheists often say that any God who allows suffering isn’t worthy to be worshiped, but their logic requires that they be practically omniscient gods themselves in order to be so certain that there is insufficient good to outweigh the bad.
God has a much deeper understanding of all things than we do. He knows every evil thing that happens in the world, and he also knows how every one of them will eventually work toward a greater good for those who trust in him, if not in this life, then certainly in the next.
The apostles of Messiah were not Christians. They were Netzarim.

Good Morning Everyone ☕️
I said that 2024 was going to be a long year and I was right. Now we’re less than two months away from the election.
Prayers up! ?
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
Romans 8:16-17 ESV
If we are fellow heirs with Messiah, what basis could we ever have for expecting that we would not suffer? If he, being perfectly obedient and God himself, suffered persecution, surely we who are imperfect reflections of him will also suffer persecution, both from man and from Satan.
When Yeshua said that he would draw all men to himself when he is lifted up, he didn’t only mean that he would draw their attention, but that he is drawing them to become like him and to follow in his footsteps, even to being lifted up on a cross as he was.
