"According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death." Philippians 1:20

It should be our earnest expectation and hope that we will never be ashamed in anything! The great Truth is that it is God’s hope for us as well, and to insure that God gets what He hopes for, He did something about it! “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” Romans 15:3 God has given us His very Own Spirit and through our Fathers Spirit we are filled with all joy in the peace of knowing His Truth, and through the Holy Spirit we abound in hope! Through the Spirit of God we are able to have boldness that Christ is going to be magnified through our lives! Through the power of Christ we are able to have the boldness that God has, and we are able to know beyond any shadow of a doubt that Jesus is going to be glorified through us. God knows the beginning and the end, He knows what is going to be and we have His peace and joy regarding it! God knows that He is never going to be ashamed and He knows that He is in us, that we are His Temple, His body, and if God is never going to be ashamed, then we will never be ashamed! The great thing here is that we just don’t talk about Jesus, but that the Spirit of God magnifies Jesus through us! God has given us the peace and joy of His faith that knows beyond any shadow of a doubt that He is going to use us to magnify His chosen Savior and our Lord Jesus Christ! “And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.” John 17:10
