“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Romans 5:5, NKJV).
After we get born again, the first act of the Holy Spirit is to pour God’s love into our hearts. The Spirit living in us, constantly reminding us of God’s love, mercy, and compassion for us, gives us hope when life gets painful.

“If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it. But when God found fault with the people, he said: ‘The day is coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah’” (Hebrews 8:7, 8, NLT).
The old covenant of the law was impossible for man to keep, because it was demanding, unforgiving, and made no provision for human imperfection. The old covenant’s “Thou shalt not” warnings constantly reminded the people of their sins; by comparison, God’s new-covenant “I will” promises focus on faith in His grace.

“The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship” (Hebrews 10:1, NLT).
Although the law was perfect and holy, its sacrificial system was only able to provide temporary forgiveness for man’s sins. God therefore decided to replace the law with grace; this required a one-time, perfect sacrifice of Jesus’ body and blood.

“Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit” (3 John 1:2, NLT).
Wellness is defined as the quality or state of being in good health, especially as an actively-sought goal. The “actively-sought goal” of this definition deserves attention, because this goal has already been attained for us through the finished works of Jesus Christ.

“And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately” (Acts 9:33, 34).
It’s not God’s will that we tolerate sickness; He therefore gave us the same healing power that He gave to Jesus Christ. We have the same ability to get results that the apostles had.

“Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith. Grace be with you all” (1 Timothy 6:20, 21, NIV).
Paul wrote this letter to warn against the influences worldly philosophies have on a believer’s way of thinking. There are countless theories that go against the Word that can infiltrate our mind; what begins in the mind eventually works its way into the heart.

“And He spoke a parable to them: ’Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch?’” (Luke 6:39, NKJV).
Jesus told this parable to illustrate what happens when we listen to the religious leaders and philosophers of the world who are blind to God’s truths. Without God’s Word to give us true spiritual vision and illuminate our spiritual walk, we’ll stumble along and eventually fall.

“The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me” (2 Samuel 22:21, NKJV).
Much has changed from the old to the new covenant, including the way God deals with us. Before Jesus, God dealt with the people according to their own brand of righteousness that was based on their deeds; now, He deals with us according to Jesus’ deeds and our faith in them.

“But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why have you made me like this?’ Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?” (Romans 9:20, 21, NKJV).
Rebelling against God is never a good idea, because everything He does is for our benefit. Being flexible and yielding to God, who fashioned us, allows Him to work through us to reach others.
