As a Christ follower you see a future with Jesus. And that future with Jesus should shape your life right now as you are reading this. It should create something in you that transforms you, renews you—the way that you think and the way that you act in this life. You’re not just waiting to punch your ticket to heaven, you’re looking for tangible ways to bring heaven to Earth—at your workplace, in your neighborhood, to your school and among your friends. You’ll have this energetic holiness you can’t help but show to people, and when you do, there will be opposition and persecution. And while the opposition may be strong… the love of Christ is stronger. If you’re going to walk with Christ you have to get your faith strong so when the opposition comes you can STAND STRONG.
