NASB | Romans 8:24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:24 For in this hope we were saved [by faith]. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he already sees? |
Bible Question: Romans 8:24 says "For in HOPE we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one also hope for what he sees?" Hebrews 11:1 says "Now faith is the assurance of things HOPED for, the conviction of things not seen" 1 Corinthians 13:13 says "But now abide faith, HOPE, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." We hear tons about love and faith, but what about hope? Hope is one of three things that will abide in 1 Cor. 13:13, so it must have some value. In Hebrews 11:1 faith is the assurance (NASB); substance (KJV); title-deed, confirmation (TAB), of things hoped for. If we turn this scripture around a little bit it seems that faith has no substance (I like KJV), without there being things hoped for. Hope seems to be something very important, but we/I dismiss it almost as if it's invisable, of no value. So then why is hope one of the three things that abide (1cor. 13:13 KJV)? What about Romans 8:24? For in hope we have been saved, hope in what? Hope in something we can not see. What is this thing we can not see? Is it our salvation; or how the Father sees us, not in our own righteousnss which is as filthy rags, but clothed in the Righteousness of Jesus Christ, the list I think may be different for each of us. The reason I am bringing this up, is that I recently heard a teaching on hope from a minister of a faith ministry, and the importance of hope in the Word of God, was a revelation to me! As I was listening to this teaching, a question came to me, and he asked on the tape the same question, just after I thought it. Could this put more light on the scripture that says, My people perish without a vision. I didn't have time to look that one up so grab a concordance. Could this verse be looked at as the people not having thing to hope for, perhaps from ignorance of the Word of God, have nothing for faith to be the substance of? Am I stretching it, going off the deep end, or are some of you as excited about hope in this light as I am? |
