My hope is based on nothing less than God's unfailing Word. It is not "hope" in the sense of something I wish for but it is in the sense of what is expected and certain. This hope will not disappoint!
Muslims, and others have a hope that is uncertain. It depends on a whimsical god and their own current ephemeral condition at the time they die. That's sad.
I have been sealed by the Holy Spirit of God. I am His child and I can't be snached away from my expectation and hope.
I thank God for His infinite mercy and grace. Amen
AMEN!
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -- Romans 8:35-39
"Be not afraid; only believe." -- Mark 5:36"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
