He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. We are secure. Our calling is secure. There is hope for the believer. Paul prays that you and I would KNOW we're called, saved.
Life is hard - hope is crucial.
My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness, I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' Name. Not material riches. True riches are not material. Some question about how to translate this. We are God's inheritance.
