Any way you look at it, the gospel of Christ is built on the hope of salvation. Hope is essential to the gospel because it is the good news about eternal life. See, some people view hope as wishful thinking, but hope from the scriptural standpoint, is an assurance that we gain from Jesus.
Because he was a (1) real person, (2) died a real death, and (3) there is real proof that He was resurrected from the dead, we have assurance -- we have hope in salvation because He lives today! I have hope in salvation. I have assurance in salvation. The problem we face, is having faith in that hope. I am praying for more faith in the hope of the gospel. Are you praying for that kind of faith? How can you and I build our faith in the hope and assurance of salvation through Jesus?
