The world's view of hope differs greatly from that of the word of God. Paul in his epistles speaks of patience or perseverance of hope (1 Thess 1:3 ) and hope that never fails. (Rom 5:5 Now hope does not disappoint..). The writer of Hebrews compares hope to an anchor to the soul that is steadfast and sure. Heb 6:19. There is a righteous hope and a false hope. Optimism alone cannot save us from despair.However we can have a living hope that is grounded in God.
