“(and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.” (1 Timothy 4:10, NIV84) I find this to be the most remarkable statement. In this verse, Paul makes the statement that “we have put our hope […]

“But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel.

“remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.” (Ephesians 2:12, NIV84) I read this verse and could not help lament over our society today.

“love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1Cor. 13:7 NASB) Today I used the NASB translation because it is a truer translation of the original Greek.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” — Romans 15:13 (NIV84) This is one of my early memory verses. It is so powerful and speaks so clearly as to what makes Biblical […]
