Hope distinguishes the Christian from the unbeliever, who has no hope. Indeed, a Christian is one in whom hope resides.

Simply reverence the Lord Jesus Christ in your hearts, and always have your answer ready for people who ask you the reason for the hope that you all have. - 1Peter 3:15 - Eph. 2:12 - 1Thess. 4:13 - 1John 3:3 -

In contrast to the Old Testament hope, the Christian hope is superior. This becomes even more clearly evident when there appears a second Melchizedek, who is a priest not by virtue of a law about physical descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. For it was about him that the prophecy was made: You are a priest of the order of Melchizedek, and for ever. The earlier commandment is thus abolished, because it was neither effective nor useful, since the Law could not make anyone perfect; but now this commandment is replaced by something better - the hope that brings us nearer to God. - Heb. 7:15-19 -

Christians hope comes from God and especially His calling, His grace, His Word and His gospel. Hope is directed toward God. Its appropriate objects are eternal life, salvation, righteousness, the glory of God, the appearing of Christ and the resurrection from the dead. - Rom. 15:13,4, 5:2 - Eph. 1:18, 4:4 - 2Thess. 2:16 - 1Thess. 1:3, 5:8 - Col. 1:23,27 - 1Pet. 1:21 - Acts 24:15, 23:6, 26:6-7 - 1Tim. 1:1 - Titus 1:2, 3:7, 2:13 - Gal. 5:5 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
