Searching for Hope CEB
Make your hope sure
he guaranteed it with a solemn pledge
Hebrews 6:9-20 But we are convinced of better things in your case, brothers and sisters, even though we are talking this way—things that go together with salvation.
God isn’t unjust so that he forgets your efforts and the love you have shown for his name’s sake when you served and continue to serve God’s holy people.
But we desperately want each of you to show the same effort to make your hope sure until the end.
This is so you won’t be lazy but follow the example of the ones who inherit the promises through faith and patience.
Our hope in Jesus’ priesthood
When God gave Abraham his promise, he swore by himself since he couldn’t swear by anyone greater.
He said, I will certainly bless you and multiply your descendants.
So Abraham obtained the promise by showing patience.
People pledge by something greater than themselves. A solemn pledge guarantees what they say and shuts down any argument.
When God wanted to further demonstrate to the heirs of the promise that his purpose doesn’t change, he guaranteed it with a solemn pledge.
So these are two things that don’t change, because it’s impossible for God to lie. He did this so that we, who have taken refuge in him, can be encouraged to grasp the hope that is lying in front of us.
This hope, which is a safe and secure anchor for our whole being, enters the sanctuary behind the curtain.
That’s where Jesus went in advance and entered for us, since he became a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
Greeting
Christ Jesus our hope
1 Timothy 1:1 From Paul, who is an apostle of Jesus Christ by the command of God our savior and of Christ Jesus our hope.

a living hope
1 Peter 1:3-10 May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be blessed! On account of his vast mercy, he has given us new birth. You have been born anew into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
You have a pure and enduring inheritance that cannot perish—an inheritance that is presently kept safe in heaven for you.
Through his faithfulness, you are guarded by God’s power so that you can receive the salvation he is ready to reveal in the last time.
You now rejoice in this hope, even if it’s necessary for you to be distressed for a short time by various trials.
This is necessary so that your faith may be found genuine. (Your faith is more valuable than gold, which will be destroyed even though it is itself tested by fire.) Your genuine faith will result in praise, glory, and honor for you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Although you’ve never seen him, you love him. Even though you don’t see him now, you trust him and so rejoice with a glorious joy that is too much for words.
You are receiving the goal of your faith: your salvation.
The prophets, who long ago foretold the grace that you’ve received, searched and explored, inquiring carefully about this salvation.
Thanksgiving and prayer for the Colossians
hope reserved for you in heaven
Colossians 1:3-10 We always give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you.
We’ve done this since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all God’s people.
You have this faith and love because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. You previously heard about this hope through the true message, the good news,
which has come to you. This message has been bearing fruit and growing among you since the day you heard and truly understood God’s grace, in the same way that it is bearing fruit and growing in the whole world.
You learned it from Epaphras, who is the fellow slave we love and Christ’s faithful minister for your sake.
He informed us of your love in the Spirit.
Because of this, since the day we heard about you, we haven’t stopped praying for you and asking for you to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, with all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
We’re praying this so that you can live lives that are worthy of the Lord and pleasing to him in every way: by producing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God
