HOPE

Hope: 1 Pet. 1:4 "...to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you."

Hope is the mental attitude of confidence that results from learning and applying Bible truth regarding the future.

In Bible usage, "hope" (Greek: elpis) is synonymous with "confidence". Growth in confidence comes along with growth in Christ. Applied knowledge of Bible principles of time and eternity leads to supreme confidence in God's Word.
The hope for the Church is the "blessed hope" of the Rapture. Titus 2:13-15; 1 John 3:2,3; 1 Thess. 4:13-18

Hope
is derived from such passages as Rev. 21:4 in which it is stated that there will be no more death, tears, pain, etc.

The hope (confidence) we have in Christ has caused death to lose its sting and the grave to lose its victory.
1 Cor. 15:54-58.
