Be not moved away from the hope of the Gospel.  Colossians 1:23

"Half the professing Christians of this present day do not know their heads from their heels and the half that do know seem inclined to take to their heels and run rather than stand steadfast in the faith. Between here and Heaven we will always have to fight, and frequently the severest struggle will be at a time when we are least prepared. Do not grow secure, or presumptuous, remember, as we travel along the King’s Highway there are thieves on both sides of the road.

There is but a short space between one battle and the next in this world.

But there is hope… 

We have the hope of salvation. We have hope that one day we shall be presented holy, without blame in the sight of the great Father. We have hope that one day we will stand before God, “without spot or wrinkle” cleansed from all guilt, sin and corruption. We have hope that we shall be like Christ. We have hope that His holiness shall be our glory. We have hope that we shall see Him face to face. We have hope that we shall stand without fault before the Throne of our Creator our Saviour and our LORD."
Charles H. Spurgeon

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

We have hope.
