Hope of Christ

Those who have Christ in their hearts have hope and purpose in life. In death, they have the assurance of spending eternity with Him. God's Word states this in Isaiah 57:2, "Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death."

Hope is an overused and misinterpreted word in our culture. It’s almost become trite in being used in everything from commercials, fund raisers, and political speeches. People try to manipulate to bring about their cause or belief. True hope only comes by God through Jesus Christ!

“To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” – Colossians 1:27

“[ Praise to God for a Living Hope] 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.” - 1 Peter 1:3



Do you have this hope?
