"But if we hope for what we do not see,we eagerly wait for it with perseverance" Romans8:25.
It's by hope that we are saved and without it none of us would be saved,we believe in Jesus because He rose from the dead and with this belief we hope that we shall be resurrected by Him on the last day.If we lose hope in Christ and in enternal life,we are inclined to give up our faith and go back to the world and live hoplessly as those without Christ.What I love us to do is to hope in what is unseen,setting our minds on the glorious treasures that the Father has for us in the store one of which is enternal life.This means we shouldn't place our hopes in the momentary treasures of this world since it will pass away like a flash of lightning.As we carry this enternal hope in hearts,patience and perseverance are needed since hope goes together with patience by enduring the persecutions and tribulations in this world for being believers of Christ.
Peace be with you brothers and sisters.
