Rom. 5:2 - we rejoice in the “hope”

ἐλπίς
elpis
el-pece'
Fromἔλπω elpō which is a primary word (to anticipate, usually with pleasure); expectation (abstract or concrete) or confidence: - faith, hope.

There...Cleared that up...

Are you sure you figured out why Jesus died???

Are you sure you figured out why Jesus died???*** There is a difference between confidence and surety. It may be lost on you but that difference exists nonetheless. I understand why Jesus suffered, died, was buried, descended to hell and rose again. He ascended to Heaven and is seated on the right hand of the Father. He shall come again to Judge the living and the dead. How shall the splintered Protestant groups be Judged? What are you doing or not doing in memory of Him?
