WHAT IS HOPE?

Hope is the confident expectation of the goodness of God. Faith, hope and love together, the power triplets.

Somewhere inside, Faith is CRAVING HOPE so that it may give substance & proof to unseen realities!

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Romans 15:4

"You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and… rest in safety" (Job 11:18 NIV). Don't Worry, Hope!

Hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Rom. 5:5

Hope is based on the Nature & Character of God--not optimism or wishful thinking!!!! Hope in God!
