KJV Word TypeNoun
DefinitionNot wishful thinking, but the confident expectation of what God has promised. Biblical hope is grounded in the resurrection of Christ and the certainty of God's word. It is listed alongside faith and love as one of the three abiding Christian virtues and is described as an anchor for the soul.
Key Verses"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil." (Hebrews 6:19); "Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing." (Romans 15:13)
