Hope is a subject covered many times in the Bible, in a variety of ways. As Christians, Jesus is our hope, and the reason why we can persevere through tough circumstances. Through prayer, and application of the Bible, our hope can be fulfilled. Hope is one of the most important parts of Christian life, and it is one of the fruits of the spirit. It is with our growing confidence in the Lord and Jesus that our hope also increases.
Here are some Bible verses on the subject:
