12 Scriptures on Hope for Your Life

There are problems that leave us shaken and downcast. Where can we find hope to overcome these challenges if not in God? Only the Lord is able to save and protect us, to sustain and heal us. Through Jesus Christ, he has opened the gates of Eternity, where we hope to rest by his side forever.

1. God never fails

³ Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴ perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵ And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
- Romans 5:3-5

No one likes to go through difficulties, but even in the most difficult times, God helps us to be victorious. God's love never fails, you can rely on it!

2. Hope nourishes faith

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
- Hebrews 11:1

Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Faith is the certainty that what has not yet happened will happen. Believe that Jesus can transform your life and change your luck. Feed that hope with the Word of God.

3. God is with you

³¹ What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
- Romans 8:31-32

God wants to help you and bless you. God offers eternal life and restoration, even in this life. He loves you and wants to change your life for the better. Trust in the Lord.

4. The future is wonderful

^"16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."
- 2 Corinthians 4:16-17

The suffering now may be great, but eternity is greater. Problems won't last forever. You have a future with God where there will be no more pain or suffering. Don't give up!

5. Call to mind the things that bring you hope

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
- Lamentations 3:21

Think... How many things has God done for you? How many blessings, how many deliverances? Remember all that God has already done for you. Use these memories to fuel your faith. For He who has blessed you will bless you even more!

6. God is the reason for our hope!

"¹⁵ But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,"
- 1 Peter 3:15

Don't be afraid to say who you believe in. If God is the reason for your faith and hope, proclaim his name. Every time we say with our mouth who we trust (Jesus Christ), we strengthen our faith.

7. Hope for a lifetime!

If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
- 1 Corinthians 15:19

In Christ, we have hope beyond earthly life. God can transform our lives, but he has gone further: he has given us the prospect of eternal life through His Son. When we accept Jesus, our hearts are filled with hope.

8. He will continue to deliver us from all evil

"He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us,"
- 2 Corinthians 1:10

Jesus Christ was able to deliver us from the power of death, and it is in this certainty that we place our hope. He is able to deliver us from all our troubles and problems. So put your trust in God today!

9. Whom shall I fear?

"The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?"
- Psalm 27:1

If we can take refuge in God, then nothing will be able to shake us. The Lord, creator of the universe, protects us with his power: who could harm us? Make God your refuge and feel safe.

10. Joyful in suffering

² Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, ³ because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
- James 1:2-3

Nobody likes to be troubled or to go through difficulties. But these difficulties serve a purpose, they strengthen and mature us. There is a purpose behind the pain.

11. Ours is the Victory

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 1 Corinthians 15:56-57

Our victory has already been won, there on Calvary, through Jesus' sacrifice. We mustn't forget that this life is only temporary. We are walking towards eternity, and we will pass through a door that was opened by Jesus.

12. Nothing compares

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."
- Romans 8:18

See what lies ahead of you in the future. There is no pain that can compare with the joy we will have in being at our God's side. He is our hope, help, and refuge. We can trust in him that everything will be all right.
