Hope: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:16, 18 March 2015

Hope is an optimistic attitude of mind based on an expectation of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in one's life or the world at large.

Its early use meant to trust.

Hope in Christ means trust in His ways.

We see the word hope in Luke 6:34 And if ye lend [to them] of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

It is from the word elpizo^[1] which more often translated trust.

The word elpizo is a verb appearing some 32 times in the Bible.^[2]

To do things in hope is to trust in righteousness and liberty rather than resorting to force to compel action in others.

The noun form of the word hope in the Greek is elpis.^[3]

It appears some 54 times in the Bible.^[4] It never appears in the Gospels but Paul uses it all the time.

It often appears with the word faith and in Hebrews 10:23^[5] it is translated as faith.
