As believers, we long to be free of the limitations and pains of this body. Suffering is a lot easier to bear when we have hope for a future day when all suffering will cease.  That is the hope Paul speaks of in the marvelous eighth chapter of Romans.

It’s tough to be optimistic when slogging through hard times. Some try to grin and bear it; others crack under the pressure. But Christians can have a different perspective:  awaiting a future glory that makes our present suffering infinitesimal in comparison.

“The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then…joint heirs with Christ.” Romans 8 gives believers the riches of heaven despite being unworthy sinners. God invites us into the throne room to partake of His bounty.

Do you think life is tough for you? Just wait. Do you think you have always gotten the short end of life’s stick? Just wait. As a member of the body of Christ, your inheritance is earning interest right now in the bank of heaven, and one day you will make a withdrawal.

When Christians are born into God’s family, they find God very approachable. From Romans 8 we learn that the Holy Spirit births in them the desire for intimacy with God, in fact, even the desire to call Him “daddy.” Can you call God “Papa?”

What if you got a letter saying that someone died, leaving you ten million dollars? As a child of God, you are an heir to a fortune and do not know it. In Romans, we read: “We are children of God, and if children, then heirs, joint heirs with Christ.”

Many people try to satisfy themselves with things that only make finding satisfaction more elusive. But the believer in Christ has a new life with new desires.

As believers in Christ, we have a future beyond the reach of the bill collector, beyond the reach of our failures and sins. Our future is safe in the hands of God who guarantees that for believers, there is no condemnation in the life to come.

Where is your security found? If you know Christ, your bank deposits are safe, where “moth and rust cannot corrupt.” That bank is not of this world, and, as a child of God, neither are you.

Keeping marriages together is the key to keeping society from crumbling. The family is in big trouble, and it is up to believers in Christ to demonstrate marital and family wholeness. Listening to each other is vital if a couple is to stay under the same roof.
