"The Confidence of Our Hope"


“The Confidence of Our Hope”



But Christ was faithful as a Son over His Household.  And we are that household if we hold on to the courage and the confidence of our hope.      Hebrews 3:6



Mankind puts their CONFIDENCE in a lot of things, during their lifetime on earth.  And a lot of those things brings them DISCOURAGEMENT, DISILLUSIONMENT, HEARTACHE and DESPAIR, because they have put their CONFIDENCE in WORLDLY things, which are NOT of an ETERNAL NATURE.  And MOST of the time their CONFIDENCE is in HUMAN BEINGS, who are very prone to FAILURE, because they use WORLDLY WISDOM and WORLDLY MEANS to provide what is needed.



However, for the TRUE BELIEVERS, who are the HOUSEHOLD of the ALMIGHTY GOD, and JESUS CHRIST, being God’s Son, who reigns over God’s Household, PROVES that the TRUE BELIEVER can have PEACE and CONFIDENCE in Him, as the ONLY ONE who can provide for them ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.  Therefore, they CAN and SHOULD HOLD on to the COURAGE and the CONFIDENCE of their HOPE, which is ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  And they will be able to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS.



God so LOVED the WORLD, ALL of MANKIND, that He GAVE His SON, Jesus Christ, as the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE for our sins.  And He commands us to LOVE EACH OTHER, if we REMAIN in LOVE, we REMAIN in GOD and God REMAINS in US.  And this LOVE is PERFECTED in us so we might have CONFIDENCE in the DAY of JUDGMENT.  We, who are TRUE BELIEVERS, CAN and SHOULD have CONFIDENCE in God’s UNFAILING LOVE, therefore, we can LOVE because He FIRST LOVED us.  And that is CONFIDENCE of our HOPE.



If you have NOT TRULY given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are NOT a TRUE BELIEVER, I’m NOT talking about being a church member, being a church member, will NOT make you a TRUE BELIEVER.  And you cannot possibly have CONFIDENCE in your HOPE, mainly because you really don’t have ANY HOPE for an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, unless you are WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and be able to ESCAPE HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and put your CONFIDENCE in your HOPE of an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
