May the Power Of
The Holy Spirit Fill You With Hope
Everything that was
written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us strength to
go on. They cheer us up and give us hope.
Our God is a God who
strengthens you and cheers you up. May he help you agree with each other as you
follow Christ Jesus. Then you can give glory to God
with one heart and voice. He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ has accepted
you. So accept one another in order to bring praise to God.
I tell you that
Christ has become a servant of the Jews. He teaches us that God is true. He
shows us that God will keep the promises he made to the founders of our nation.
Jesus became a servant of the Jews so that people who are not Jews could give
glory to God for his mercy. It is written, "I will praise you among those
who aren't Jews. I will sing praises to you." —(2
Samuel 22:50; Psalm
Again it says,
"You non-Jews, be full of joy. Be joyful together with God's people."
—(Deuteronomy 32:43) And again it says,
"All you non-Jews, praise the Lord. All you nations,
sing praises to him." —(Psalm 117:1)
And Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will grow up quickly. He will rule
over the nations. Those who aren't Jews will put their hope in him." —(Isaiah 11:10)
May the God who gives
hope fill you with great joy. May you have perfect
peace as you trust in him. May the power of the Holy
Spirit fill you with hope.
Romans
15:4-13
Never underestimate
the power of the written word. The Bible has lessons for us today, as it did
thousands of years ago. It is as new as the rising sun each day.
God
speaks through His Word to those who listen with their heart.
