Bible Question:
Once saved, and of strong faith and assurance regarding Heaven and the hereafter, why are we encouraged to keep hoping? I am satisfied the Lord will allow me eternal life with Him and the Heavenly hosts, so why do I keep hoping for that? |
Bible Answer: Hi, PD... Welcome to the forum! Hope is not merely wishful thinking. Rather, it is a confident expectation that God is fulfilling His promises. It is part and parcel with our faith. It is an integral component of our salvation, and a continuing expression of the transformation of our lives in Christ. Lack of hope signifies a misunderstanding of God, His promises, and His redemption. I might even be so bold to say that it is sinful, since it resists the command to be people of hope, but more seriously denies God's holiness, power, intentions, and purpose. In Him, Doc |
