Paul begins to list the blessings that are given through faith in Christ that we can know because our hearts have been enlightened. The first of these is hope. We have hope and assurance in our salvation. Where we were once doomed to face the punishment for our sin, Jesus has snatched us from the fire and saved us. We have the assurance of being in Heaven with Him for all eternity. It is this hope that helps us through our daily struggles. We still live in a fallen world filled with hardship, coldness, and strife. However, we have this hope that reminds us that, no matter what we are going through, we can rest in the promise of our Savior. How can your hope in Jesus help you through what you may be facing?
