What are you confident in? Are you confident that you can provide for yourself? Are you confident that you will live a long life, a full life, a healthy life? Are you confident that you will always love your husband and he will always love you? What is your confidence based on?
Paul reminds us here that we can have confident expectation of eternal life. Why? Because we are heirs. It is something that belongs to us because it is being given to us. It is not being given to us because we've earned it, but because we've been justified by God's grace. Jesus' death on the cross made the way for us to be justified, to become heirs, to be confidence.
Having confidence in ourselves is wonderful but at times it can be unfounded. Having confidence in Jesus' finished work on the cross is wonderful and unshakeable. What are you confident in?
