1 Peter 1:8b-9
“Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.” Just because we don’t see Jesus doesn’t mean He doesn’t exist or that we can’t have a relationship with Him. In fact, our relationship with Him comes from our believing (total commitment), and brings us something now that non-believers and make-believers don’t have, a “joy inexpressible”. Yes, there is a joy you can have that there are no words for, and the only way you can describe to another person, saved or not, is “it’s Jesus, the fountain of life bubbling up in me”! Not only will you have that joy inexpressible, but you will be full of glory that others notice and cannot dismiss it and it doesn’t wash away because you have walked in faith. You will one day stand with Jesus and receive the reward for keeping the faith, which is the salvation of your soul. Now that’s what I call success!
