Your Future Is 'JOY' And Hope In The LORD!

(Editor's note: Hope, when referred to in the Word of GOD means something drastically different from the common language usage.  It is a courageous, committed and consistent certainty that what has been Promised by CREATOR will indeed come to pass in our personal walk with HIM! 

To what are you looking forward?  What lies in the future?  'JOY' or nothing?  Well, our Scripture today says that the righteous have 'JOY' in their future, and the wicked hope for nothing.  Well, the wicked may have hope, but the Word says that hope will come to nothing!

We publish Monday Joy each week because we are speaking to righteous people, for the most part.  And your future is 'JOY'!  We are trying to help speed the path, if you will.

Now, a quick note about what true salvation involves.  This is the inter-denominational, non-humanized version of being saved.  It goes like this:

Everyone needs a SAVIOR because everyone falls short of righteousness in the RIGHTEOUS LORD'S sight.  We all fail.  Without HIM we are all classified as wicked, from the "little-white-lie teller to the mass murderer."  We all have no claim on heaven by our deeds.  You, me, the whole race of humankind. 

Once we realize this, the HOLY SPIRIT brings JESUS to us.  We hear, we see that HE is good, we accept HIS work as SAVIOR and make HIM LORD of our lives to the extent that we can.  Then HE begins HIS work of cleaning us up.  This takes the rest of our natural lives.

So we are all the same, all in the same boat without a paddle!  The only difference is that some have accepted JESUS as SAVIOR, and are now judged as righteous by the court of heaven.  It is like the FATHER takes on a pair of "JESUS glasses" when HE looks at us now, and sees the righteousness of the PERFECT SON OF GOD, instead of our failure.  

Now our future looks Good!  It is full of 'JOY' and all the things that bring hope!
