Part 3: Born to hope

(This is part 3 of 12 parts in this class)

 

As a believer, you have been born again to hope.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again (born again) to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

1 Peter 1:3 - NKJV

 

You have been born again to a living hope, literally a hope that is alive. This hope is Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27)

 

One of the first things friends and relatives notice about a newly born again believer is the hope he now has - this often disconcerts them. They see him with a fresh vision for life. He is wanting to do things he has never done before. He has a new zest and a new zeal.

This new believer has accepted Christ (the Anointed One) and he now has hope that is alive in him. He has come to life with it. He has the hope of glory.
