Facts about Hope

We hope for things that we have not:

Romans 8:25
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

Hope remains with Faith and Love:

1 Corinthians 13:13
 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.  But the greatest of these is love.

Hope is offered to us:

Hebrews 6:18
God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie,  we who have fled to take hold of the hope  set before us may be greatly encouraged.

We have a living Hope:

1 Peter 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  In his great mercy  he has given us new birth  into a living hope  through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Hope is Firm and Secure:

Hebrews 6:19
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,

John 14:21

Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him. —

Love is much more than a feeling or an attitude: love is an action. When we love, we show it by our deeds. As disciples of Jesus, our love is shown by our obedience to the things Jesus taught. Of course, that obedience brings an incredible blessing — Jesus reveals himself to those that obey him!
