Word of life – Rom 5:5
“And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” (Rom 5:5 ESV) (21.08-04.09.2011)
What is emphasized?
Hope. Christian hope has its model in the hope of Abraham, who against hope believed in hope (Rom 4:18). So Abraham believed that God is almighty, and facing Him in powerlessness he trusted that God was able to work a miracle.
Practical application:
In time of hopelessness, realize God’s presence and His almightiness and repeat several times in faith: “Jesus, I trust in You.”
