Hebrew 10:23 Without wavering, let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have, for God can be trusted to keep his promise
1 Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ was not raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your trust in God is useless.
1 Corinthians 15:19 And if we have hope in Christ only for this life, we are the most miserable people in the world
You know, I can't escape the fact that as Paul said, if Jesus did not rise from the dead, the very fundamental basis of my life is worthless. If God can't be trusted, then all of my life is in vain.
Before you think I'm obviously in a depressed mood :), let me point out Hebrews 10:23 - "God can be trusted"
I'm not in the nightclubs satisfying as many biological urges as I can, as much as I can, at the same time, for this one simple reason - God can be trusted with my life. He will not let me down. I will not be disgraced because of him.
And it for this reason alone that I can say with Paul - "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for it is the power of salvation."
Think I'll sleep well on that. :)
