What Does the Bible Say About Hope?



Hope is one of the more prominent subjects the Bible addresses. In fact, this topic is mentioned over 100 times in both the Old and New Testaments. Here is how hope can help you build the mindset needed to conquer any challenges in your life.


Hope is a Declaration

When you hope in God, you’re declaring that you trust Him to provide for you. Isaiah 40:31 states that having hope in God can renew your strength. When you go through challenges in life, placing that faith in God empowers you to take the steps necessary to walk in His will.


“Therefore, prepare your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” - Peter 1:13


Hope Sets a Foundation

Having hope in God is not a fleeting thing; it is foundational. As you prepare your mind and actions to serve Him, know He will support and guide you through your life. And when things become difficult, it is celebrating that hope even amid overwhelming circumstances.


The book of Romans 5:3-5 exemplifies how hope can shape you:


“Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. 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. “


When you trust God to guide your steps, hope is the compass that keeps you on course. Even when temptations try to snag you from your route, hope can help you persevere over daily challenges.


Hope Places You in God’s Favor

Not only do you achieve peace of mind when hoping in God, but you also reap his rewards. In the book of Psalm 147:11, it states, “the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.”


As you place your trust in God to guide you, He will provide you with the insight needed to make wise decisions every day. The total of these everyday choices helps you walk a path in his image and likeness. And when temptations strike, you can treat them as tests to show your hope in God. Even if you fail one or more of these tests, there are opportunities to get back on course.
