Hope
"Not only that, but we also have
the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting
for the adoption, the redemption of our own body. For we are saved in this hope,
but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope in what he sees? But if we
hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverence."
Romans 8:23-35
"And now Lord, what do I wait for?"
My hope is in you."
Psalm 39:7
"For you are my hope, O Lord God;
You are my trust from youth."
Psalm 71:5
"But for him whon is joined to all the living
there is always hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion."
Ecclesiastes 9:4
"I have hope in God, which they themselves also
accept, that there will be a ressurection of the dead, both of the just and the
unjust."
Acts 24:15
"Therefore, having been justified
by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have
access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of
God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation
produces perseverence; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not
dissapoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit
who was given to us."
Romans 5:1-5
"... becuase of the hope which is laid up for you
in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of truth in the Gospel..."
Colossians 1:8
"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you
were called in one hope of your calling."
Epehesians 4:4
