Need some hope today? Listen to these words of J.I. Packer:
“New Testament Christianity is a religion of hope, a faith that looks forward. For the Christian, the best is always yet to be.”*
———–
“Though the Christian life is regularly marked more by suffering than by triumph (1 Cor. 4:8-13; 2 Cor. 4:7-18; Acts 14:22), our hope is sure and our mood should be one of unquenchable confidence: we are on the victory side.”**
