What joy for those you choose to bring near, who live in your holy courts. What festivities await us inside your holy Temple.
What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man.
The news of your faith in God is out. We don't even have to say anything anymore—you're the message! People come up and tell us how you received us with open arms, how you deserted the dead idols of your old life so you could embrace and serve God, the true God. They marvel at how expectantly you await the arrival of his Son, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescued us from certain doom.
[how you] look forward to and await the coming of His Son from heaven, Whom He raised from the dead--Jesus, Who personally rescues and delivers us out of and from the wrath [bringing punishment] which is coming [upon the impenitent] and draws us to Himself [ investing us with all the privileges and rewards of the new life in Christ, the Messiah].
Our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.
By faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope.
Psalm 65:4 Luke 6:22 1 Thessalonians 1:7 1 Thessalonians 1:10 Galatians 5:5 Philippians 3:20
Christ …will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him. Hebrews 9:28
