Long for God’s Salvation
I long for Your salvation, O LORD, and Your law is my delight.
“
Jesus Christ taught that we are to “seek first the kingdom of God” (Matthew 6:33, emphasis added). The future hope of salvation in God’s Kingdom should be the central motivational element in our life. It should be what drives us to “finish the race” and “keep the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7).
The apostle Paul expressed the same concept in Romans 8:23: “Even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.”
These three verses, among many others, express the importance of putting our focus on our future salvation. We are to long for, seek first and eagerly wait for the future that God is preparing for us.
