Today we are going to talk about hope for the future. Hope helps us remain calm and positive even when times are tough. It is an invisible mental state that guides us to move ahead. As Christians, we know that our hope is based on God’s promises that will give us a glorious future.
The word of God encourages us to have hope, which gives us joy in our hearts. The story of Abraham and Sarah teaches us that hope in God will reward us with a beautiful future ahead. They got the promised child even when they were old.
We have a glorious future in Jesus Christ. We need to put our faith in Jesus, and we should have hope too. Hope will lead us toward our future. Let’s stick to the promises of Jesus to view our future through faith.
Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about hope for the future.
