Our trust should not be in our possessions but in the Lord our God. God at times may use nature, sorrow or other common occurrences to draw us closer to Him. But in His mercy and grace, He has provided the definitive plan for our salvation—Jesus Christ, crucified for our sins and exchanging our sin for His perfect righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Matumaini yetu yasiwe katika mali zetu bali katika Bwana Mungu wetu. Mungu nyakati zingine anaweza kutumia asili, huzuni au matukio mengine ya kawaida kwa kutuvuta karibu naye. Lakini katika rehema yake na neema, Yeye ametoa mpango thabiti kwa ajili ya wokovu wetu - Yesu Kristo, aliyesulubiwa kwa ajili ya dhambi zetu na kubadilishana dhambi zetu na haki yake kamilifu (2 Wakorintho 5:21).
