hope
looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,
that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
But, meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil,
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end,
And again: “I will put My trust in Him.”And again: “Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”
