Hope and Comfort

When a person receives the Holy Spirit, they are given the faith of God. This faith is described in Hebrews 11 as being ‘the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.’ This hope does not reserve a space for doubt. It is a confident expectation. This confident expectation is in what God says and what He has promised. What God has promised for a spirit-filled overcomer is resurrection to an eternal glorious life with Him. Therefore, this hope is the source of our ever-present comfort in God.
