The Fruit Of Hope

Colossians 1:3-5a~We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven

Faith is an ongoing battle that we must fight. What motivates our continual faith in Christ? What motivates our love for the Church of Jesus Christ? Well, this text says that it is the "HOPE that is laid up for us in heaven."

How much time do you spend thinking about eternity? About the glories that await those who are Christ's? What is laid up for you in heaven, do you know? The knowledge of it is suppose to motivate you to faith and love. Seems sort of important doesn't it?
