Apart from God man has no hope for the future. As Paul put it, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” (1 Corinthians 15:19). People look for security and hope in fame and wealth and achievement but those are fleeting at best. There simply is no security in temporal things because they can vanish at any moment. God offers us something better—a future that is certain and cannot be taken away. Jesus said, “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal” (Matthew 6:20). When we remember God’s promises for our future, nothing can shake our confidence. Today’s Renewal Principle: This life is not the end—there is a certain eternal future in Heaven for all who believe in Jesus Christ as Saviour.
