Hope

To hope that Christ will save you while unconverted, is to hope that Christ will prove false to His trust. [ASGTH]

The more we fix our hopes on the recompense of reward in the other world, the more free and liberal shall we be of our earthly treasure upon all occasions of doing good.  [MHBC – Col 1]

To hope we shall be saved, though continuing unconverted, is to hope that we shall prove God a liar. [ASGTH]

A holy despair in ourselves is the ground of all hope. [TBR]

Look more at the latter end of a Christian than the beginning of his affliction.  Look not upon Lazarus lying at Dives’s door, but lying in Abraham’s bosom. [PRASD]

This short storm [of life] will end in an everlasting calm, this short night will end in a glorious day, that shall never have end. [PRASD]
