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.
