A. DEFINING "HOPE"...
      1. VINE'S says that it involves "the happy anticipation of good"
      2. It is NOT wishful thinking, or an insecure "I hope so"
      3. But as VINE'S describes it further, it is "a confident
         expectation"
      4. A common definition of hope is "desire plus expectation"

   B. IMPORTANCE OF "HOPE"...
      1. Hope is necessary to persevere - Ro 8:25; 1Th 1:3
      2. Hope is necessary for our motivation to become pure - 1Jn 3:
         2-3
      3. Hope is necessary to increase opportunities to evangelize 
         - 1Pe 3:15
      4. Without hope, we not only lose our souls, we won't be any good
         for saving others!

   C. FORTIFYING YOUR "HOPE"...
      1. The Word of God was written to produce hope - Ro 15:4
         a. Through its revelation of God's dealings with man in the 
            past, we know God keeps His promises
         b. This encourages us to expect Him to deliver on His promises
            for the future
      2. Peter encourages us to "rest your hope fully upon the grace 
         that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus 
         Christ" - 1Pe 1:13
         a. Where do read of the "grace" that is to come when Christ is
            revealed?
         b. In the Scriptures, of course!
         c. Nothing "fortifies" our hope better than those wonderful 
            passages that reveal the eternal destiny of the saints!
