1 Peter 1:7-8 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
[8] Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Peter says that our trials are going to bring out the gold when we appear in Christ’s presence, a wonderful time to look forward.
Loving Christ brings rejoicing to your heart. Are you a rejoicing Christian?
Are you in the Glory Land way?
The Glory Land Way
_________________________
I’m in the way, the bright and shining way, — I’m in the glory-land way; — Telling the world that Jesus saves today, — Yes, I’m in the glory-land way.
CHORUS:
I’m in the glory-land way; — I’m in the glory-land way; — Heaven is nearer, and the way groweth clearer, — For I’m in the glory-land way.
List to the call, the gospel call today, — Get in the glory-land way; — Wand’rers, come home, oh, hasten to obey, — And get in the glory-land way.
Onward I go, rejoicing in His love. — I’m in the glory-land way; — Soon I shall see Him in that home above, — O I’m in the glory-land way.
