Romans 8:30

Here is a precious truth for you, believer. You may be poor, or in suffering, or unknown, but for your encouragement, take a review of your “calling” and the consequences that flow from it, and especially that blessed result spoken of here. As surely as you are God’s child today, so surely will all your trials soon be at an end, and you will be rich in every way with bliss.

Wait a little while, and that weary head will wear the crown of glory, and that hand of labour will grasp the palm-branch of victory. Do not lament your troubles, but rather rejoice that before long you will be where “there shall be neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.” The chariots of fire are at your door, and a moment will suffice to carry you to the glorified.

The everlasting song is almost on your lip. The portals of heaven stand open for you. Do not think that you can fail to enter into rest. If He has called you, nothing can divide you from His love. Distress cannot sever the bond; the fire of persecution cannot burn the link; the hammer of hell cannot break the chain. You are secure; that voice which called you at first will call you yet again from earth to heaven, from death’s dark gloom to immortality’s unuttered splendours. Rest assured, the heart of Him who has justified you beats with infinite love towards you.

You will soon be with the glorified, where your portion is. You are only waiting here to be made fit for the inheritance; and when that is done, the wings of angels will waft you far away, to the mount of peace, and joy, and blessedness, where “Far from a world of grief and sin,”
“With God eternally shut in,”
you will rest forever and ever.
