Presumption is a sin.

Hope is a virtue.

“Presumption is a sin.“

You misspelled “faith.”

Acceptance of Christ’s gift freely offered and belief in what He says is Life itself. Refusing to accept His completed work on the cross and believing His sufficiency to see you through is denigrating His sacrifice.

[MHGinTN]

I am born again, born from above because I trust in the Promise from God, enflesh as Jesus The Lord Christ. Believing a Promise from God is not presumption, Catholic curmudgeon, it is the means to eternal life.

Reading and studying His Word for lo these many decades, I am absolutely certain I could not have earned even one iota of His Grace toward me, and I am absolutely certain that I am not strong enough to keep me a member in His family with satan so devious.

Thanks be to GOD I am soon to leave this planet as the least of members in the Bride of Christ, the Body of Christ of all believers since that fateful day of Pentecost. How can I be so certain? I trust in the Promises of God Almighty.

Presumption is a sin.

Calling God a liar is a REAL sin!

Hope is a virtue.

It is when it's placed in the right thing! Hope in nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness, yes. Hope in your own merit, works, holiness and church membership, NOPE!

Presumption is a sin.

But faith is not.

The Biblical definition of faith includes assurance.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

It boggles the mind how hard some people will work to instill the terror of going to hell in others, to rob them of the security of knowing where they are going because they trust the integrity of the God who made the promises.

So they try to convince us that we are NOT secure and the only way to have a chance is to do it there way and they can't promise it either.
