Verse of the Day

For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? Romans 8:24

If we have something, why would we hope to have it? This verse is common sense, really. Paul is writing about being saved by Jesus's sacrificial death on the cross. He died for our sins. That gives us the hope of eternal salvation. Hope is defined as "To look forward to with confidence or expectation". As a Christian I do look forward to the day when I will meet my God in Heaven.
