Why do we have reason to hope?

We are part of a family that has a loving

Heavenly Father and a Son who has opened

the door to hope. Let’s examine a few of

the reasons we have for hope in this life

and beyond. We have been given spiritual

life and we are freed from satan’s death-grip.

(Eph. 2:1-7)

We have been given the inner presence of

the Holy Spirit, who confirms that we are

God’s children. (Rom. 8:16)  We have God’s

power enabling us to live for Him.

(2 Cor. 12:9;  Eph.1:19)

We have assurance that nothing can separate us

from God’s love. (Rom. 8:35-39)

We have confidence that all the events of

life—good and bad—have a purpose and that

God is in control. (Rom. 8:28, 29-39)

We have the promise that we can be forgiven

of sin and restored to a close relationship with

the Father if we confess our sins. (1 Jn. 1:5-10)

We have the guarantee of our Father’s help as

we live for Him and who hears and answers prayer.
