Gospel Hope

1 Peter 1:3-5 (NASB)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Romans 8:24-25 (NASB)
For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

Gospel hope is an amazing gift from God. It is the assurance of something that we have not yet seen, but know it to be true. Gospel hope transforms us from a person without anything to one that knows with certainty that we have been given everything from the Living God. Gospel hope springs from our faith in Jesus; faith that is itself a gift from God. This faith gift is a reflection of the great love that God has for us.

That is why Paul said in 1Corinthians 13:13 (NASB)
“But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

Father, praises to You for Your inexpressible Love. I pray that You would increase my faith each day. I thank You for the gift of Gospel hope. May You be glorified by the hope I have in Jesus. Amen.

Always praying for the glory of God,
