Hope, Day 3

So, what does it mean to have confident expectations or hope in God?

Scripture talks about both putting our hope in and on God. What is the difference?

Putting your hope in God, is really the first part of faith. When you have expectations of life reconciled, you are hoping in God's truth and Word.

Ephesians1:9-12 He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

When you believe and have expectations of God as He is the father He promises to be, then you are putting your hope on Him.

1 Timothy 6:17 Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.

1 Timothy 4:10 For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.
