Peter declares that “God has reserved for his children the priceless gift of eternal life; it is kept in heaven” … and that “God, in his mighty power, will make sure that you get there safely to receive it because you are trusting him.  So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though the going is rough for a while down here.”  [1 Pet. 1:4-6]

God is using His power and resources to see to it that we get to heaven.  We don’t have to tough it out alone.  Our constant faith and trust are a big key.  Also, a fixed focus on our prize makes the tough times of this life seem minor compared to the rewards of living for Christ.

Hold on!
