My Hope in Jesus Christ

Knowing I have eternal life in Jesus Christ gives me hope.

When I was 18 my dad was killed in an accident. I didn't understand all that I was feeling or how I should grieve, but what I did have was hope. I knew even though I didn't understand why this happened, especially since I had three younger sisters and now my mom would have to raise 4 children alone, I did know that he was in heaven. And that hope of eternal life that he had, I had. That confidence in Christ enabled me to continue to live each and every day. As the years have passed my hope only grows.

My hope in Christ, my confident expectation of heaven, is more real today than when I was first saved. The Bible is the foundation of my life, my hope is in Christ and His sacrifice, and no matter what tomorrow brings I'm confident that Christ will never leave me or forsake me.
