There is one hope just as there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism. |
"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all." Ephesians 4:4-6 |
The mission of Blessed Hope Communications, Inc. is to stir up this hope that dwells in every Christian.
So, too, the hope of bodily resurrection is essential to our salvation. Just as Jesus is the firstborn from among the dead (Colossians 1:18), when he comes in glory he will raise us up and transform our lowly bodies to be like his glorious body (Philippians 3:21).
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.
This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith
are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation
that is ready to be revealed in the last time."
1 Peter 1:3-5

1 Peter 1:3-5
Not only will humanity be glorified, but all of creation will be liberated from its bondage to decay.
"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God."
Romans 8:18-21
