We have been given a new spiritual life through Jesus. Paul points to the future when we will experience the riches of His grace. We often look forward to Heaven, where there will be no more weeping or sadness, only the joy of being with our Lord for all eternity. Being raised in Christ, this life will last for an eternity. This assurance of things to come gives us hope when we face struggles in our lives. Whatever we may be going through, we have the hope that we have been saved and will be with Jesus forever, experiencing the immeasurable riches of God’s grace. Do you feel hopeless right now? Does it seem like the world is bearing down on you? Remember that this life will not last forever, but the next life will be one of gladness and joy that will never end.
