Why You Must Not Ever Give Up Hope | Rom. 5:5-6
June 26, 2024
5 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. 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Romans 5:5-6 NKJV
I want you to think about something for a moment – who are you if you do not have hope? Where would you be if you did not have hope? I feel like this is something that we must take into serious consideration. The reason why I say that is because many of us are so quick to give up our hope. So, where are you going to go and what are going to do next without hope?
You can go nowhere without hope. You can’t accomplish goals without hope. You can’t make it to and receive your blessings if you don’t have hope. So, for us believers, hope is everything- it is our strength and power. Our hope is Christ. When we were lost in sin and did not have strength, Paul said that Christ died for us. God gave us His only begotten as our hope.
Jesus said that while we will have tribulation, He is our hope and peace because He overcame the world. Do you understand what you’re doing when you’re quick to worry and give up? You would be giving on Jesus! You would be giving up that you can overcome all of your trials and tribulations through Christ! My word to you today is to STOP DOING THAT!
