“For we have not here a lasting city but we seek one that is to come” (Hebrews 13:14-16).
“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philip. 3:20).
“I have given them Your Word and the world has hated them; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world”(John 17:15).
“I have said these things to you that in Me you may have peace. In the world you WILL have tribulation. But take heart—I HAVE overcome the world” (John 16:33).
Remember this quote from St. Augustine, as you look around and see all that is going on in this world. This world IS to be judged:
“Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out” (Jn 12:31).
“Concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world (Satan and all evil spirits and those who follow after him) is judged” (John 16:11).
Continue to “set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth” (Col. 3:2).
“But according to His promise we ARE waiting for new heavens and a new Earth in which righteousness dwells” (2 Peter 3:13).
YOU that know this are HIS!
“Little children, you are from God and have overcome them (the evil spirits in the world), for He Who is in you is greater than he (the world, the flesh and the devil) who is in the world” (1John 4:4).
Keep looking up, beloved, for our Redemption is very near!
