Romans 8:24-25 "For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it."
Since there is more to this life than we can see, every belief that delves beyond the here and now must be based at least to some degree in faith. We cannot see our ultimate end, therefore we must have faith if we are to believe anything about our future eternal state.
As a Christian, a believer in the Word of God, that hope is a glorious one. An eternal home with our Creator Who loves us. A place of no tears, nor fear, nor death, nor pain. A place reunited with those we love. Heaven. Paradise. I don't know about you, but I don't want to wait. Yet that is exactly what we are commanded to do. Wait with patience.
The word "patience" here means "cheerful endurance". Does this describe my attitude toward life today?
