You may have enrolled in the school to gain a better understanding of God's word so that you can live a better life for Him. Perhaps you are thinking about gaining eternal life in heaven. You may even be looking for a general sense of hope. When we think about hope, we should not think of it as being a simple wish. Hope is the anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast (Hebrews 6:19). What is the Christian's hope?

• Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:17-18)
• Eternal life (Titus 1:2; 3:7)
• A better home (2 Corinthians 5:2-3)
• New Jerusalem, the holy city in heaven (Revelation 21:2)
• To be with the redeemed forever (Revelation 21:22-27)
• To avoid destruction (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9)

The Christian's hope is not an empty aspiration. Mankind can have full trust and confidence that God always fulfills His promises. The righteous will be rewarded, and the wicked will be punished. Christians have full assurance of their hope (Hebrews 6:11). Hope is not only desire but also expectation (Romans 8:24).

"Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil" (Hebrews 6:17-19).

My hope for you is that as you study the Bible Courses in the school your understanding and obedience to God's commands will increase your hope.
