Hope

If you believe that, when God sent Jesus to earth to die for our sins, that Jesus paid that price for you so that you can be forgiven and live with Him forever in heaven, you have reason to hope. But, as a child of the King, you also have a responsibility to obey. Why? Because God has chosen us as the bride of Christ.

Listen to this truth from John MacArthur:

You are a Christian because the Father chose you. The Father wrote your name down. The Father drew you; you therefore came.

The Son received you, and the Son will not lose you, and the Son will raise you, and the Father will glorify you; because that's what He determined to do at the beginning.

You are precious because of what it is that you have been chosen to do throughout all eternity.

A quick note about today's workout: the 1 hour run was 6 miles @ 8 min and a 12-minute cooldown. Then it was 10 10 10 EDI, 2 sets. Interestingly, I felt great!

• Lunge with violent stops
• Glute ham with reps to arm's length
• Scap pullup: 110 lbs of assistance! but I did 40 and then just held on for the last 2 sets of 10 seconds
• Curl: 20-lb bar
• Crate crunch
