when you arrive in heaven, something glorious will happen---a final transformation will take place. You will be just like our Savior. That is an awesome event, because you will be one of the greatest blessings there. You will be God's work of art---even the angels will look upon you in awe. At last your future hope will be complete---you will have a heart like Jesus.
You will love with a perfect love.
You will worship with a radiant face.
You will hear each word God speaks.
Your heart will be pure, your words like jewels, and your thoughts like treasures.
You will fulfill your life's future goal---you will be like Him.
The Lord has set apart the godly for Himself, and will hear you when you call to Him. You are already beautiful to Him, and are His beloved, so, you should walk worthy according to your calling, and He will place on you a crown of beauty---and you will be a jewel of splendor in the Lord's hand.
Praise be to the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. In His great mercy He has given you new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade---kept in heaven for you. Even angels long to look into these things.
God judges each man's work impartially, so live your lives as strangers here. You once led an empty life with no future hope, but have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without a blemish or defect. You have been chosen by God for,
"All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord stands forever."
All of this assuring you "A Future Hope" is waiting.
