Christian hope is not a wishful optimism that life will get better. Such hope will ebb and flow with emotions and our circumstances in life. Instead, Christian hope is waiting with certainty for the promised Second Advent (Coming) of Christ when we will be resurrected from the dead and glorified in Christ—fully perfected in God’s grace! Christian hope is a wholehearted conviction that believes God will be faithful to this promise because His Word is truth, and He loves us. This kind of hope is the secret to keeping calm and not losing heart through adversities that plague life.
