Hope In The Love Of God

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:5

That question about whether the Holy Spirit was limited to those immediately there at Pentecost is answered once more by Paul in his letter to the Roman church. We also have an answer to what may be a faltering hope in you or me this morning: no disappointment is in store for us on that matter. Our hope in Christ may seem a bit weak in the knees on a day when the world appears to be winning. For the past couple of years this seems to be every day. Paul reminds us that our hope is not based on the state of the world, but in the love of God. In John 3:16 we read that God sealed His love for everlasting with His only begotten Son.

Yes, that hope satisfies!
