The Christian's Hope

The Christian's hope is not a feeling, but "an anchor to the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which has entered into that within the veil." It is of the highest importance that we cultivate the habit of dealing with the substance of salvation, rather than with the emotions incident to it. The true policy of the Christian is to be always looking away to the object of his faith and the substance of his hope, even to Jesus, by whom we do believe in God, "that raised him from the dead and gave him glory, that our faith and hope might be in God."
