Are you looking for HOPE?
True HOPE is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ!
In Jesus HOPE gets personal- Bible Project
Romans 3:23 says that “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.”
Romans 6:23 says that “The wages (payment) for sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our LORD.”
Romans 5:8 says “But God demonstrated his love towards us in this, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. “
In Acts 16:31, we learn that “Anyone who believes in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved.”
1 Peter 1:3-9 gives us a wonderful promise of the Christ Follower’s HOPE- “3 Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In his great mercy he has given us a new birth and a living hope. This hope is living because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. 4 He has given us new birth so that we might share in what belongs to him. This is a gift that can never be destroyed. It can never spoil or even fade away. It is kept in heaven for you. 5 Through faith you are kept safe by God’s power. Your salvation is going to be completed. It is ready to be shown to you in the last days. 6 Because you know all this, you have great joy. You have joy even though you may have had to suffer for a little while. You may have had to suffer sadness in all kinds of trouble. 7 Your troubles have come in order to prove that your faith is real. Your faith is worth more than gold. That’s because gold can pass away even when fire has made it pure. Your faith is meant to bring praise, honor and glory to God. This will happen when Jesus Christ returns. 8 Even though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not see him now, you believe in him. You are filled with a glorious joy that can’t be put into words. 9 You are receiving the salvation of your souls. This salvation is the final result of your faith.”

HOPE grows when you spend time with Jesus by studying the Bible, learning from other Christ followers, and praying.

We encourage you to find a local Bible-believing church and start reading the book of John in the Bible- a little each day. Ask Jesus to show you Himself and meet you where you are in your need and brokenness. He is waiting for you to call out to Him, recognize your need for Him, and put your faith and HOPE in His free offer of salvation. He has already paid the price for our sins (selfishness and pride) by His perfect sacrificial death on the cross. It is up to us to confess and humble ourselves before his Lordship, as we await the blessed HOPE of Him coming for those of us who believe.
“When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” Colossians 3:4
