HOPE IS WHAT TURNS BLIND TRUST INTO ABSOLUTE GUARANTEE......A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS IS WHEN WE GENUINELY PLACE OUR TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HE GUARANTEES US AN ETERNAL HOME WITH HIM IN HEAVEN ...........HERE ARE SOME OF THE SCRIPTURES THAT VERIFY THIS TRUST AND GUARANTEE.....WE BEGIN WITH THE OLD TESTAMENT WHEN GODS WORD SAYS : "May YOUR unfailing love rest upon us , O LORD ,even as we put our hope in YOU ." PSALM 33:22 ......WHEN THE WORD HOPE IS TRANSLATED INTO HEBREW HERE IT IS SAID " YACHAL" WHICH MEANS "TRUST".......ANOTHER OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURE WHERE THE WORD TRUST IS MENTIONED IS WHEN GOD STATES : "But now , LORD , what do I look for ? My hope is in YOU . " PSALM 39:7 ...... THE HEBREW DEFINITION OF THE WORD TRUST IN THIS LINE TRANSLATES TO THE WORD "TOWCHELETH" ROOTED IN THE MEANING OF EXPECTATION ...... FOR THOSE WHO CLAIM JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOUR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF HOPE IS FOUND NUMEROUS PLACES THROUGHOUT THE NEW TESTAMENT ......JESUS' WORDS RING TRUE WHEN SPOKEN THROUGH THE APOSTLE PAUL AS HE STATES : " the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of the truth , the gospel that has come to you ."COLOSSIANS 1:5 ...... THIS LIVING HOPE IS A DEFINITE GUARANTEE GIVEN BY OUR SAVIOUR JESUS ......FURTHER INTO THE NEW TESTAMENT WE FIND EVEN MORE TRUTH WHEN OUR BROTHER PAUL
REVEALS GODS' SINCERE PROMISE : "a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life , which GOD , who does not lie , promised before the beginning of time , and at HIS appointed season HE brought HIS WORD to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of GOD our SAVIOUR ." TITUS1:2-3
......TO ASSURE US OF THIS HOPEFUL ETERNITY GOD OFFERS HIS GRACE TO EACH AND EVERY MAN , WOMAN AND CHILD WHO TRULY ACCEPTS IT .....THIS UNDESERVING MERCY IS OURS COMPLETELY FREE BECAUSE OF JESUS' WILLINGNESS TO ATONE FOR OUR SINFUL NATURE BY DYING ON THE CROSS AND RESURRECTING INTO HEAVEN .....CAN WE COUNT ON THIS HOPE BEING REAL ? ......WHEN WE LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURES , GOD SPEAKS THROUGH THE BELOVED APOSTLE JOHN WHEN HE STATES : " I write these things to you who believe in the name of the SON of GOD so that you may know you have eternal life . This is the confidence we have in approaching GOD : that if we ask anything according to HIS will , HE hears us . " 1JOHN 5:13-14.......ARE WE ABLE TO CLAIM THIS GUARANTEE OF ....... WE PRAISE OUR LORD IF SO
........ AND IF NOT , THEN THIS MAY BE THE MOMENT THAT GOD HAS ORDAINED JUST FOR THAT PURPOSE......... SO AS TO CLAIM THE HOPE THAT TURNS BLIND TRUST INTO ABSOLUTE
GUARANTEE ...............................................SUMMER
