Hope That Does Not Disappoint

Hope That Does Not Disappoint

Romans 5:5- Now hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Today, we express hope as if we canโ€™t be sure what will really happen. We say, โ€œI hope I will win that prize. I hope it wonโ€™t rain tomorrow. I hope everything works out well.โ€

But โ€œhopeโ€ in the Bible is a confident and positive expectation of good. God wants you to have a confident expectation of good because, as His child, He favours you. Because Christ is in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27), you can expect the glory of God to shine into every area of your life, including your family, job, ministry, health and finances!

Godโ€™s Word says, โ€œNow hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.โ€ You may have experienced disappointed hopes, but there is a hope that does not disappoint when you are conscious of how much God loves you. It is a hope that springs from the heart of God, who loves you very much.

It is interesting that the first mention of the Holy Spirit in the book of Romans is tied up with the love of God. The book of Romans is considered foundational for Christians. Could it be that the first thing the Holy Spirit wants to do is to establish in our hearts that God loves us? Many people think that the Holy Spirit has come to teach us about power. But the truth is that the Holy Spirit has come not to reveal the love for power but the power of love!

My friend, you may have just lost your job. But if you can say, โ€œJesus loves me, this I know,โ€ you can also say, โ€œI believe that I will get a better job tomorrow.โ€ Your girlfriend may have just left you for your best friend. But because you can say, โ€œJesus loves me, this I know,โ€ you can also say, โ€œIโ€™ll meet a better girl.โ€

When you believe that God loves you, you will have a positive expectation of good. You will have a hope that does not disappoint. So be careful what you hope for because you are bound to get it!

    God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His lifeโ€ (Romans 5:8-10).
    If sin and death could not destroy the hope we have in Jesus, then neither can anything. Our hope is certain because He lives.
    Amen hallelujah

    Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
    What heights of love, what depths of peace
    When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
    My Comforter, my all in all
    Here in the love of Christ, I stand.
    AMEN ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™
