This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. I, Annice, love this verse and it has sparked HOPE being my word of 2015. The word HOPE is used 146 times in the New American Standard Bible version of the Bible, which is the one I use most. So, what is hope? The modern idea is "to wish for, to expect, but without certainty of the fulfillment; to desire very much, but with no real assurance of getting your desire." In Scripture, according to the Hebrew and Greek words translated buy the word "hope" and according to the biblical usage, hope is an induction of certainty. "Hope" in Scripture means a strong and confident expectation". Romans 8:24-25 states: 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? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. Hope is the confident expectation, the sure certainty that what God has promised in the Word is true, has occurred, and or will in accordance with God's sure Word. Hope changes who we see ourselves; Hope changes what we value; Hope affects what we do with our lives - our talents, time, treasures; Hope gives us joy and peace; Hope gives us protection; Hope gives us strength, courage, boldness; Hope gives us endurance, comfort, confidence in the face of death; Hope gives us confidence in ministry; Hope depends on knowing the Word of God; Hope depends on knowing and resting in God's Grace and Hope depends on the Spirit Filled life. Romans 15:13 states: Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Psalm 31:24 states: Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord. Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. If you are without Christ, you are without God and without hope. Start this new year off right and talk to someone or contact us about how to receive the amazing gift of Salvation.
