The Bible often refers to the salvation experience as a hope. For instance, Sha'ul (Paul) was speaking of believers who had died, when he said we sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. (1 Thessalonians 4:13)
Concerning the Christian, herein ever after referred to accurately as Hamashiachian the Bible speaks of, the hope of His calling. (Ephesians 1:18) Of every child of God the Bible says, Hamashiach in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27)
Here in 1 Kefa our text states that God according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again unto a lively hope. (1 Kefa 1:3)
The salvation experience is referred to as hope.
Now there is a big difference between the way we generally use the word hope and the way the bible uses it.
When we use the word hope, it is in the sense of wishing for something.
However, when the Bible uses that word hope, it is talking about a confident expectation and reality.
The reason that Bible hope is a confident expectation and reality is because Bible hope is based in God. How in the world does this thing work? "Bible hope."
The answer is.... It doesn't. Tune in to find out why...
