Advent and Hope

During this Advent season, I am trying to keep in mind the hope I have in God. Old Covenant believers hoped in a Christ, a Savor to come in the future. We, as New Covenant believers, have a steadfast anchor for our souls. Our hope is a hope that enters into the most holy place, behind the curtain where Jesus has gone as a forerunner for us to become a High Priest forever (Heb. 6). This means we have access to God through Jesus Christ by his atoning work on the cross in our stead forever. Believers before Christ looked forward for hope, we look backward for hope. Something that happened in the past, in time and space, gives us a hope of a right standing before the throne of the Most Holy Judge.

So we hope in God, as Christians, to act according to his will. He is a God of his word, his promise, his covenant and we can have certainty that he will be faithful to what he has said.

Praise be to God for swearing to himself, for there is no one greater by whom to swear.

Soli Deo Gloria
