Do You Have A Rope Of Hope?

@ 09:46 AM (17 months, 5 days ago)


And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:5

The word hope here in Romans 5:5 is the Greek transliterated word elpis, which is used for the word hope as well as rope.

I have been learning to turn things over to God.  When I let Him help me with those things that concern me,  I notice I have more of that Bible hope, which is a confident expectation of good happening, that doesn't disappoint.  

All of us can use a lot more of that kind of hope.  God’s hope is just the rope we need to pull us out of our pools of despair.

Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?  Do you believe Jesus died to pay the price for your sin?  That He was raised from the dead?  Then just pray aloud, "Lord Jesus, I repent of all my sins.  Come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour."  If you believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth, you are Born-again.  Let us know if you prayed this prayer.
