Hebrews 11:1

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

The unbelievers, being without Christ, have no hope. but we, the believers in Christ, are a people of hope. The calling that we receive from God brings us hope. We have been regenerated unto a living hope. Our Christ, who is in us, is the hope of glory, which will issue in the redemption, the transfiguration, of our body in glory. this is the hope of salvation, a blessed hope, a good hope, the hope of eternal life; it is also the hope of the glory of God, the hope of the gospel, the hope laid up for us in the heavens. We should keep this hipe always and boast in it. Our God is the God of hope, and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we can have hope all the time in God and can rejoice in it.
