Hope

Hope is a firm assurance about things that are unseen and still in the future Romans 8:24-25, Hebrews 11:1, 11:7. It comes from God, including His calling, grace, Word and gospel Romans 15:13, Ephesians 4:4, 2 Thessalonians 2:16, Romans 15:4, Colossians 1:23. Character produces hope, which comes from perseverance produced by suffering Romans 5:3-4. Christians are to be joyful in hope Romans 12:12.
Christians are not to put their hope in wealth but in God 1 Timothy 6:17. To hope in God is to trust Him, to be sure He will do what He says He will do. There are multiple promises to those who hope in the . For example, those who hope in the will have their strength renewed; they will soar on wings as eagles; they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not be faint Isaiah 40:31. Also, those who hope in the will inherit the earth Psalm 37:9, 34, just like the meek Matthew 5:5.
