Perfect Hope

"Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:13

Completely. Teleios. Perfectly.

We ought to hope perfectly. Nothing should cast doubt on the sureness of the grace and promise we have been given. Our hope should be full, unwavering, and constant. Because the source of our hope, the One who has promised it, is perfect, full, unwavering, and constant. Our hope for eternity, for the complete revelation of our unmerited favor from God is more certain than the rising sun. Hope allows us to stand. Hope gives us victory over disappointment, trouble, and despair. Hope perfectly. It is a command. It is a promise. It is a firm foundation.
