RE: What does Titus 2:13 mean?
The English word hope as translated from the Greek is “elpis” which means to possess a confident expectation. Therefore, every Christian can possess a confident expectation that the Lord will not only fulfill every single promise that he has made, but also that He will appear at the end of the age to gather his own unto himself
Someone asked me this same question not so long ago..... Hope in this verse ( elpis) means to possess a "confident expectation" that the our Saviour will fulfill absolutely every single promise that has been made in the scriptures and that He will appear to gather his own. (depending on whether someone is pre trib or post trib they would have have their own views on when this gathering would take place). Hbr 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which [it was] impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Hbr 6:19 Which [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; This Blessed Hope of mine keeps me sustained in a world that is not my home - I know that someday I will leave this world and the Lord will never condemn me as I've been delivered from the penalty of sin and will live eternally with him. |
