What is Hope to you ? What hope do you have in this life ?
It is very important to our human existence that we have hope but what do you put your hope in?
Let's look at what is Natural Hope and what is Biblical Hope .
Natural Hope is wishful thinking about something good happening .
Biblical Hope is a firm confidence from God about future issues because they are based on God's promises and revelation .
Lets look at what God's holy word say's about Hope .
Romans 8:24-25 says : 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
The hope in these verse's is talking about the Salvation Jesus gives us when we repent. Also these verse's tell us hope is not in what we already have but in what we don't have or have not see yet happen in our life's .
In this life we put too much in things like money , celebrity's , our friend's , and even our family member's . All of our hope needs and should be in Jesus . Not saying money celebrity's, and friend and family are bad but when the become you only source of hope , then you need recheck where you hope should be in .
Lets look at Hebrews 11:1 say abut faith and hope together : 11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
When you are truly saved and strong in your walk with Jesus , you develop a confidence and a assurance that even though you can't see what lies ahead of you, you know that God is in control and that you will be ok .
I want to leave with this quote : Without Christ there is no hope.- Charles Spurgeon
