Our Hope

Are you looking for hope? I recently came across a blog-site where people write in of stories which gave them hope. Concerning hope the Apostle Paul writes:

And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up–if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen.  And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!  Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. (1 Cor 15:14-19)

The word of God

David wrote “Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Ps 119:105). David also wrote that  “Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You” (Ps  119:11). The word of God is known to be “living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Heb 4:12). The word of God is important, and relevant today. Look at three examples of the things Gods word can do for us even today.
