HOPE
It is described as waiting for something not seen but promised (Rom. 8:24, 25). Blessed is the man who has his hope placed in the Lord; Even though tribulations arise, he will not fail to bear fruit (Jer. 17:7, 8).
There is no vagueness in the hope of the Christian: it is a firm anchor for the soul, because the Lord himself is his hope, and Christ in him is the hope of glory (Col. 1:27; 1 Tim. 1: 1; Heb. 6:18, 19). The coming of the Lord, not death, is the blessed hope of the Christian (1 Thes. 4:13-18; 1 John 3:2, 3).
