God of Hope

When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others (Philippians 2:3-4).

 . . . when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing (James 1:3, 4).

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me (John 14:6).

What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? (James 2:14)

The Lord . . .delights in people who are trustworthy. . . . Now, a person who is put in charge as a manager must be faithful (Proverbs 12:22; 1 Corinthians 4:2).

For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does (Psalm 33:4).

Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move (Matthew 17:20).

So you see, it isn’t enough just to have faith. You must also do good to prove that you have it (James 2:17).

Those who trust in themselves are fools. . . . Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you (Proverbs 28:26; 1 Peter 5:7).

Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings (Hebrews 10:22).

My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others? (James 2:1)

It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him (Hebrews 11:6).
