Our hope is in Yeshua (Jesus) the Son of God; that hope is salvation. He is restoring all things - He is holding out the way of peace and reconciliation for mankind - He has provided the redemption price and given us His Spirit to empower us to live a life of freedom. Today, as we humbly wait (hope for) the fullness of our redemption (eternal life), let us do so with great joy.

1Pet 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (NAS unless indicated-bolding added)

1Pet 1:13 Therefore, gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

1Pet 3:15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;

Hope - hope in what? Why is hope important? What is your hope? Let us encourage one another as we await the fullness of our redemption. (Rom 8:23 …waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.)

Jacob’s death bed declaration is the hope of Israel; it is our hope as well (remember Israel is a type of the true church of God).

Gen 49:18 "For Thy salvation I wait ^H6960, O LORD.

Isa 25:9 And it will be said in that day, "Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited ^H6960 that He might save us. … Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation."

TWOT (Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament):

1994 (qāwā) I, wait, look for, hope. (Edited for length)

This root means to wait or to look for with eager expectation. Waiting with steadfast endurance is a great expression of faith. It means enduring patiently in confident hope that God will decisively act for the salvation of his people (Gen 49:18). Those who wait in true faith are renewed in strength so that they can continue to serve the Lord while looking for his saving work (Isa 40:31). There will come a time when all that God has promised will be realized and fulfilled (Isa 49:23; Ps 37:9). In the meantime the believer survives by means of his integrity and uprightness as he trusts in God’s grace and power (Ps 25:21). His faith is strengthened through his testings, and his character is further developed (Ps 27:14). Israel is encouraged to hold fast to love and justice, i.e. they are to follow the law faithfully and maintain consistently the standards of justice, at the same time preserving an attitude of godly love (Hos 12:6; cf. Ps 37:34; Job 4:6).

God is the source of hope for his people, and he has promised them a future and a hope (Ps 62:5; Jer 29:11). Zechariah calls God’s people, "prisoners of hope." And he summons them to look forward to experiencing God’s restoration (Zech 9:12). Therefore, YHVH himself is called "the hope of Israel" (Jer 14:8; 17:13; 50:7; cf. Ps 71:5). J.E.H.

He who has hope (of eternal salvation) waits patiently; with confidence.

Be Encouraged we have Hope in YHVH (The LORD):

Job 13:15 "Though He slay me, I will hope in Him...

Ps 31:24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the LORD.

Ps 42:5 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him For the help of His presence.

Ps 119:166 I hope for Thy salvation, O LORD, And do Thy commandments.

Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;

Isa 49:23 "… And you will know that I am the LORD; Those who hopefully wait for Me will not be put to shame.

Proverbs 23:17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, But live in the fear of the LORD always. 18 Surely there is a future, And your hope will not be cut off.

Jeremiah 29:11 'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.

Zech 9:11 As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you, I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. 12 Return to the stronghold, O prisoners who have the hope; This very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you.

Ezek 37:11 Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say, 'Our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished. We are completely cut off. 12 "Therefore prophesy, and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God, "Behold, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, My people... 14 "And I will put My Spirit within you, and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken and done it," declares the LORD.'"

Lam 3:22 The LORD's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Thy faithfulness. 24 "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him." 25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him. 26 It is good that he waits silently For the salvation of the LORD.

Webster 1828: (edited*)

Acts 2:32 "This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear. … 38 And Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 "For the promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far off…"

Acts 23:6 "… I am on trial for the hope and resurrection of the dead!"

Acts 24:15 having a hope in God… there shall certainly be a resurrection …

Rom 5:1 Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God

All creation looks forward, in hope, to the redemption (wait = hope):

Rom 8:19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. … 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God… 23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, … waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. 24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one also hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

Rom 15:4 For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction… the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

1Cor 15:16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. 20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.

2Cor 1:9 indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves in order that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; 10 who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,

Eph 2:12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Eph 4:4 … just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

1Tim 1:1 … and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope;

1Tim 4:10 … we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men…

Titus 1:2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago,

Titus 3:7 that being justified by His grace we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Heb 3:6 …if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.

Heb 6:11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end,

Heb 6:18 … laying hold of the hope set before us. 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, 20 where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us…

1Pet 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1Pet 1:18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. 20 For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you 21 who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

2. When fixed on God, hope embraces expectation, trust, and patient waiting. It is linked to faith, as in Heb. 11:1… The main difference from the OT is that the act of salvation has now been accomplished in Christ… Hope rests on faith in the act of salvation (Rom. 8:24-25) and is sustained by the Spirit (vv. 26-27). It is an integral part of the Christian life (Rom. 15:13; 12:12). As such it goes closely with faith and love (1 Th. 1:3; 1 Cor. 13:13)…

ISBE - Hope (Edited*)

… in the Old Testament there is no Hebrew word that has the exact force of "expectation of some good thing," so that in the King James Version "hope" stands for some 15 Hebrew words, … For the religion of the Old Testament is of all things a religion of hope, centered in God, from whom all deliverance and blessings are confidently expected (Jer 17:17; Joel 3:16; Ps 31:24; Ps 33:18; Ps 33:22; Ps 39:7, etc.). … [God] will establish a kingdom of righteousness.

(2) Hence, after the ascension the early church was left with an eschatological expectation that was primarily and almost technically the "hope" of the New Testament--"looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ" (1Pe 13-5; Rom 5:2; 8:20-24; 2Cor 3:12; Eph 1:18-21; Col 1:5, 23, 17; Titus 1:2; 3:1, 3, 7).

(a) Primarily, of course, the promises of the Old Testament, which were the basis of Christ's teaching. These promises are the "anchor of hope" that holds the soul fast (Heb 6:18-20). In part, then, the earliest Christian expectations coincided with the … "hope of Israel" (Ac 28:20; 26:6,7; Eph 2:12, and especially Ro 11:25-32) …

(b) Specifically Christian, however, was the pledge given in the resurrection of Christ. This sealed His Messiahship and proved His lordship (Rom 1:4; Eph 1:18-20; 1Pet 3:21, etc.)… Christ's resurrection was felt to be the first step in the general resurrection… (1Co 15:23; Acts 23:6; 24:15; 26:6-7; 1Thess 4:13-14; etc.).

(c) But more than all, devotion to Christ produced a religious experience that gave certainty to hope. "Hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us" (Ro 5:5).

(3) Yet, certain though the hope might be, it was not yet attained, and the interim was an opportunity to develop faith, "the substance of the things hoped for" (Heb 11:1). Indeed, hope is simply faith directed toward the future, and no sharp distinction between faith and hope is attainable…

(4) One passage that deserves special attention is 1Co 13:13, "Now abideth faith, hope, love, these three." "Abideth" is in contrast to "shall be done away" in 13:8,9, and the time of the abiding is consequently after the Parousia; i.e. while many gifts are for the present world only, faith, hope and love are eternal and endure in the next world…

Only adventist bodies can use all the New Testament promises literally… in the Fourth Gospel, where the phrase "kingdom of God" is usually replaced by the words "eternal life," i.e. for a temporal relation between this world and the next is substituted a local, so that the accent is laid on the hope that awaits the individual beyond the grave… Burton Scott Easton

"There is no pride so dangerous so subtle and insidious, as the pride of holiness… Beware, lest we make a profession of holiness, delighting in beautiful thoughts and feelings, in solemn acts of consecration and faith, while the mark of the presence of God-the disappearance of self-is obviously missing. Flee to Jesus and hide yourselves in Him until you are clothed with His humility. That alone is holiness. " Andrew Murray

YHVH we beseech You to cleanse us from sin, self, and pride - fill us with Your Spirit of humility.

1Sa 23:9 Now David knew that Saul was plotting evil against him; so he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod here." 10 Then David said, "O LORD God of Israel, Thy servant has heard for certain that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah to destroy the city on my account. 11 "Will the men of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down just as Your servant has heard? O LORD God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."

1Sam 23:12 Then David said, "Will the men of Keilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul?" And the LORD said, "They will surrender you." 13 Then David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah, and they went wherever they could go. When it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, he gave up the pursuit.

1Pet 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

John 16:13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

Yeshua (Jesus), as David put his hope in You help us to do the same-thank You.

Matt 23:11 But he who is great among you will be your servant.

Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth? (Exodus 33:16; ESV)

It is not that God simply gave [His] people a lot of rules that made them different. That's partly true, but according to Moses, it was God's presence that made all the difference. It is one thing for a people group to have their own customs and laws, for every culture has their own customs and laws. But no other nation had the Master of the Universe in their midst, who led them step-by-step, fought their battles, protected them from enemies and hostile environments, and provided for their daily needs. … When God is working in your midst, you don't have to live life as if he isn't. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why following God's directives is so important. Neglecting his instructions denies he is really with us.

My feet have not slipped.
