biblical foundation of hope

What is biblical hope?
Biblical hope is not a mere desire for something good to happen. It is a confident expectation and desire for something good in the future. Biblical hope has moral certainty in it. When the word says, “Hope in God!” it does not mean, “Cross your fingers.” It means, to use the words of William Carey, “Expect great things from God.”
Who is the ground of Hope?
Christ himself is the ground of hope. The first epistle to Timothy opens with the words: ‘Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Saviour and of Jesus Christ our hope.’
What is the ostensible basis for Christian hope?
‘The ostensible basis for Christian hope in the New Testament is the resurrection of Christ.’ 43 The clearest example of this is 1 Peter 1:3, where the author blesses God that ‘we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead’.
Who is the source of Hope?
The source of this abundant hope is the God of hope. By “the God of hope,” Paul means that God is the source or giver of hope. He is also the object of our hope, but here the focus is on God as the source of hope. In Romans 15:5, he describes God as (lit.), “the God of perseverance and encouragement.” He gives those qualities to those who seek Him.

Old Testament

Hope is a characteristic of man. It belongs to his very nature. ‘While there is life there is hope,’ wrote the Roman poets. ‘He who is joined with all the living has hope’ said the Preacher (Eccles. 9:4). So it characterizes the living. While man is alive he can hope. But the question arises:Is there any real basis for hope? Can hope be certain? Th

New Testament

In the New Testament the term ‘hope’ is found above all in the Pauline corpus. With less frequency it occurs in Acts, Hebrews, and 1 Peter, but elsewhere it is either entirely absent or almost so. The approach will be to see first where the New Testament writers take over the Old Testament basis, and then to investigate developments which are pecul

Conclusion

Hope does not spring from a person’s mind; it is not snatched out of mid-air. It results from the promises of God. It is grounded in God. These Old Testament truths are repeated in the New Testament. In fact, in both Acts and Hebrews these are the chief emphases, as in the Old Testament. These two books are very much like the Old Testament in their
