The expectancy of something Good!
Romans 5:1-5 Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
THOSE WITH HOPE’S DEPENDENCE:
Will enjoy a continual peace with God.
Will rest before God in the power of grace.
Will be consumed by God’s present splendor.
Will convert suffering into praise opportunity to God.
Will advance in times of great pressure.
Will persist in developing moral fiber.
Will not be disappointed by God’s abundant love.
Will possess God’s loving Spirit in their hearts.
