UNSWERVING HOPE

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” – Hebrews 10:23

Dr. Billy Graham wrote:  Perhaps the greatest psychological, spiritual,
and medical need that all people have is the need for hope.

For the believer there is hope beyond the grave,
because Jesus Christ has opened the door to heaven for us
by His death and resurrection.

Christ wants to give you hope for the future.
He wants you to learn what it means to walk with Him every day.
When you come to Christ, God gives you eternal life—
which begins right now as you open your heart to Him.

Faith points us beyond our problems to the hope we have in Christ.

Christ’s second coming reminds us that ultimately our hope
is not in this world and its attempts to solve its problems,
but in Christ’s promise to establish His perfect rule over all the earth.

Man has no ability to repair this damaged planet.
The flaw in human nature is too great. God is our only hope!

Earth’s troubles fade in the light of heaven’s hope.

My hope does not rest in the affairs of this world.
It rests in Christ who is coming again.

Only because Jesus is God and we have
confessed Him as Savior and Lord,
can He bestow and we receive these benefits,
this blessed assurance and hope (see Romans 10:9).

Our world today desperately hungers for hope, and yet uncounted people
have almost given up. There is despair and hopelessness on every hand.
Let us be faithful in proclaiming the hope that is in Jesus!

In Jesus Christ we have eternal hope. Today in prayer, give thanks to the Lord that He is our Hope.  

“One day we will meet beside the river and our Lord will dry every tear. For now, we must live in the joy of that promise and recall that for every generation life is hard, but God is faithful.” – Bodie Thoene

God’s Word: “But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation-- if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.” – Colossians 1:22-23
