The Importance of Hope - Part 2

Welcome to the Best is Yet to Come with Pastor Brad Morgan. This week Pastor Brad continues his message on "The Importance of Hope."

Many times people want to go straight to faith in believing God, but it is very important to build a foundation of hope. We need hope to abide. It is not wishfull thinking -- it is confident expectation based upon solid certainty and good. It is hope based on the Bible.

Pastor Brad continues by teaching from Romans 4, beginning in verse 17 talks about this concept of hope (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+4%3A17-25&version=NKJV).

Continuing, Pastor Brad teaches from Romans 5:1-5 says, "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

Hope is not automatic, but it happens as we stand on the promise of God, as we stand in the grace of God, as we stand in the undeserved favor of God and as we stand in Gods will. Biblical hope does not dissapoint.
