Summary
Humans have a deep capacity for experiencing hope, which the Bible teaches is fully realized through a relationship with our Creator, contrasting sharply with secular or New Age hope, which lacks a firm foundation and leads to fear and isolation. Biblical hope is based on God’s promises and actions throughout history, providing a solid, enduring hope that transcends earthly life and assures us of a future beyond this world, highlighted by scriptures like Romans 8:24-25 and Ephesians 1:18.
