Jesus is our hope. Our confidence of a better and enduring possession in heaven will be richly rewarded. We must wait and rest in this hope until Jesus comes. Faith not only means believing that God exists but also that He will reward those that seek Him . Suffering leads to true hope which will not disappoint.
Earthly things are a vain hope for safety.
God watches over those who hope in His mercy. Specifically the hope that we will be like Jesus and will see Jesus. Those that hope in and wait on the Lord will renew their strength and not grow weary. Our eager waiting for Jesus and our new bodies helps us stand firm in the Lord. We should put on the hope of salvation as a helmet.
