START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Romans 5:5
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT / ROMANS 5:5
HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT
The word translated as “hope” (Greek elpis) is different than the typical meaning we connect with the word today. Hope usually means looking toward something that might happen, depending on certain circumstances. But true Biblical “hope” is not wishful thinking about something good that might happen in the future. It is a confidence from God concerning His promises, which makes it sure and leaves no room for doubt, because it is based on God’s Word. We will experience the reality of this hope because God is “the God of hope”, which means that He Himself is the object and assurance of our hope.
GOD HAS POURED OUT HIS LOVE INTO OUR HEARTS
Christians experience the love of God through the Holy Spirit, especially in times of trouble. The tense of the verb “poured out” expresses an existing condition based on a prior action. We have received God’s love, and the Spirit continues to flood our hearts with love. It is this ever-present experience of God’s love that encourages and holds us secure in sufferings (Romans 5:3) and assures us that our hope for future glory is not a wishful imagination (Romans 5:4-5). Christ’s return for us is certain (Romans 8:17; Psalms 22:4-5; John 14:3).
