Transformation By Hope The power to alter the present.

Holy & Blameless Colossians 1:22-23 (NASB77) 22  yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach-- 23  if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

The God Of All Hope Romans 15:13-14 (NASB77) 13  Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 14  And concerning you, my brethren, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able also to admonish one another.

Receive The Word Implanted James 1:19-22 (NASB) 19  This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; 20  for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. 21  Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. 22  But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.

The Face In The Mirror James 1:23-25 (NASB) 23  For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24  for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25  But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.

Faith Makes Hopes Realities Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) 1  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hope Is Not Seen Romans 8:24-25 (NASB77) 24  For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one also hope for what he sees? 25  But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

As In A Mirror 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NASB77) 18  But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Seeing The Unseen 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NASB77) 17  For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18  while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Hope Is An Anchor Hebrews 6:19-20 (NKJV) 19  This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20  where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Hope Does Not Disappoint Us Romans 5:2-5 (NASB77) 2  through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. 3   And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 4  and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; 5  and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
