We have all been disappointed. Why should it be any different when it comes to believing the gospel? If we put our faith in Christ and begin to hope in him, aren’t we at risk of being let down? There are two realities of the gospel that assure us that we will not be disappointed if we hope in God. First, the Holy Spirit is given to us, and he pours God’s love into our hearts. Second, Christ died for us, showing us God’s love for us. To know the love of God in the gift of the Spirit and in the death of Christ gives us hope of the glory of God.
