10 Bible Verses on Hope

Where is your hope? What are you placing your hope in for the future? If your hope is in your bank account, education, job or significant other, you will feel hopeless if/when you lose these things.

There is a hope that is faithful and will never leave you. This hope is Jesus Christ. Rather than placing your hope in things which can be gone in a moment, place your hope in Christ’s salvation. He promises to never leave nor forsake you. If you would like to learn how to place your hope in Jesus, please see my post Need Salvation?

Nothing in this world will satisfy like the blessed hope of salvation. Your hope is spending eternity with Jesus Christ. Take a look at the promises of hope from the Bible:
