Who
against hope believed in hope…
Romans 5:5
The greatest story of
hope in the word of God is the promise of eternal life without fear or pain.
The Holy Spirit ignites the fire of hope burning deep within us. True faith in
the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ enables anyone to stand strong and
bold in the righteousness of the Lord. As followers of Christ we must always
seek to become more than we are; to strive for what we know God alone can make
us. On the premise of “individuality”, today’s society has forged a mold
consisting of popular opinion and conformity. Our hope in Jesus allows us not
only to break the mold but to cast it out of our lives and allow God to create
the person he knows we can be.
Those who live by the word of God anticipate the coming of Christ.
“Looking for the blessed hope, and this glorious appearing of the great God and
our Savior Jesus Christ” (Ti 2:10 ).
They have the expectation of eternal life and a heavenly treasure. “For the
hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of
the truth of the gospel” (Col
Throughout the world God has given all who believe in him the gift of the
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit comforts the people of God and gives each
individual the boldness of the spirit. A bold spirit encourages each faithful
child of God, to endeavor towards the ultimate goal of perfection in Christ and
eternal salvation through the blood of Jesus. To stand up strong for the word
of God no longer to whisper his praises but to sing out among the multitudes
without fear or apprehension. “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter
into the holiest by the blood of Jesus” (He 10:19 ).
`
It moves in our lives and changes us in ways that even we cannot see. It
is the foundation of everything we believe. It lives within us to encourage,
uplift and ultimately transform us. Hope is a fine thread of gold woven within
the tapestry of life, eloquently uniting God’s people throughout the essence of
time. Hope gives us the desire to
establish our faith steadfast and true in the love of God and enables us to
journey forward each day. With hope no matter how dark the night or fierce the
storm that rages our souls will find peace knowing that our spirits will rise
with the dawn and soar with the angels.
