“Hope! Hope!” The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net Wednesday, May 29, 2013 BYNUM CHAPEL AME ZION CHURCH, Cansler St., will hold a gospel home mission pro- gram Saturday, June 2, at 3 pm. Rev. Raymond Gardin, pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church, Kings Mountain, will be guest speaker. Members -of his “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and com- fort (encouragement) of the Scriptures might have hope.” (Romans 15:4) “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says the LORD, “thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11) ; In modern usage, the word “hope” usually expresses a measure of doubt and/or wish- ful thinking. We want some- thing or look forward to some event, but there is a good pos- sibility that we won’t get what we want or the event won't happen. With that in mind, I am amazed at the people who answer my query as to whether or not they are saved with, “I . (John hope so.” The Bible explicitly teaches that our salvation is all of God and not of ourselves. We didn’t earn it, can’t do enough good works to merit it, can’t buy it - it is a free gift of the grace of God. (Romans 6:23) So does God lie? Is it possible for Him to fail to keep a promise? Some might say, “I hope not,” but the Word as- sures us from cover to cover that such is not the case. Satan can lie, in fact, Jesus called him a liar and the father of lies. 8:44) But God cannot lie. (Numbers 23:19). So what’s with this “T hope 50” business? Back to the dic- tionary. As we continue with the definition, we find that the word “hope” used to mean trust and reliance upon something or someone. Indeed this is the way it is used in many Bible verses. Our text verse assures us that the Scriptures were written and preserved that we might have “hope.” We can trust the Bible to point us to Jesus and give us God’s an- swers to the questions we face each day. We can rely on it without reservation because it is the Word of God. It will never err in its advice. It will never lead us astray. It is al- ways relevant and timely. We can find “hope” in the Bible because it is authored by the eternal God who was and is and ever more shall be; who re- vealed Himself to us in the Per- son of His only Son, Jesus, who is “the same yesterday; today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) James 1:17 says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” So James Lochridge Jr. Pastor Second Baptist Church when Paul told Titus that he was, “in hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie; promised before the world began;” (Titus 1:2), I think it is clear just how he was using the word. We are not to “hope” (wishful thinking) for our sal- vation. We are to “hope” in (trust in and rely upon) an un- changing, always truthful, never failing God who guaran- tees it. I “hope” you under- stand this. congregation and choir will join in the service. The public is invited.
