And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. In our text, the writer is telling us that God has promised His people some things and He has made vows to His people. Given the fact that God cannot lie, we can claim the promises of God with hope, or assurance, and this hope reaches beyond what we can see here and now. This hope is like a rope which is anchored in the heavenlies. This is not hope in the worldly sense of the word.
Worldly hope is filled with doubt.
The hope of the Christian is the hope Jesus came to deliver to the Church. Anchored in Jehovah, I shall not be moved. Tho' all hell assail me, I shall not be moved. Jesus will not fail me, I shall not be moved. When Jesus came to earth, He came to give hope to the hopeless.
