There is no way to embrace the message of the Advent Season without hope. These people of faith in the Bible lived with hope in God. How can we do less? We also need to live with hope in God.
Romans 15:13 NLT
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Lamentations 3:27 AMP
“The Lord is my portion and my inheritance,” says my soul;
“Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.”
1 Peter 3:15 AMP
But in your hearts set Christ apart [as holy—acknowledging Him, giving Him first place in your lives] as Lord. Always be ready to give a [logical] defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope and confident assurance [elicited by faith] that is within you, yet [do it] with gentleness and respect.
Romans 8:24-25 NLT
We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)
Psalm 39:7 AMP
“And now, Lord, for what do I expectantly wait?
My hope [my confident expectation] is in You.
Have a blessed day and walk in faith and victory.
