But now, this is what the LORD says,

He, who created you, O Jacob,

He, who formed you, O Israel;

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; 

I have summoned you by name; you are mine. (Isa 43:1)

Faith that saves is faith that perseveres. (Matt 15)

Jesus is the I AM. He is God's promise to save, redeem, and rescue us. In Him, we find all the hope, courage, and endurance we will ever need, even and especially when our faith is little and we doubt! (Matt 14)

The promised Holy Spirit in God's eternal purpose of salvation (Acts 2:38-39).

We have the fullness of hope revealed to us in Christ. We have a hope more certain and specific than any of God's people of old. We have a hope that changes everything! We must not be moved from it, it is ours to hold and have! (Col 1:19-27; Psa 42)

The Apostle Paul prays for the church in Ephesus, .. the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened, in order that they know the hope to which God has called them, in Christ. (Eph 1:18; Rom 15:13).

God has shown His compassion on rebellious sinners by sending His Son. Christ's compassion shows up when people need it.

Those free from condemnation are also free from the frustration of, and obligation to, the flesh. They live in the peace and freedom given by God's Holy Spirit (Rom 8).

Unto Thee O Lord do I lift up my soul, let me not be ashamed, and let not my enemies triumph over me . . . Ps 25

The hope God offers us in His Son does not disappoint us! It is far greater than any suffering we may face in this world. Our hope is based on nothing less than the bedrock person of Christ Jesus, Himself!
