Hope is what keeps us going when the going gets rough; without it we would not persevere.
Without hope we would be defeated in every trial of our faith.
Hope in Christ is the deep root that enables us to endure the scorching heat of a spiritual drought, a time when we see no personal victories.
Hope is keeping your mind and heart on the destination of glory and not being preoccupied with the difficulties of the journey to glory.
Every man who has lost his hope will allow his life to deteriote and will give up trying to live a holy life.
Without hope than there can be no spiritual victory, only perpetual
defeat.
