1 Peter 3:15
But sanctify Christ as Lord in your
hearts, always being ready to
make a defense to everyone who
asks you to give an account for
the hope that is in you, yet with
gentleness and reverence;
• God is Holy
• Man is sinful
• The penalty for Sin is death
• Man cannot do anything to pay
off the sin debt because
Man is sinful
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates His own
love toward us, in that while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for
us.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is
faithful and righteous to forgive
us our sins and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness.
• God is Holy
• God is Holy
• Sinless Christ paid the sin debt
• God is Holy

What is the Hope?
What is the Hope?
Hope implies expectation
The Greek word is "Elpis"
Titus 3:5-7
5 He saved us, not on the basis of
deeds which we have done in
righteousness, but according to His
mercy, by the washing of regeneration
and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
Titus 3:5-7
6 whom He poured out upon us richly
through Jesus Christ our Savior,
Titus 3:5-7
7 so that being justified by His grace
we would be made heirs according to
the hope of eternal life.
John 11:25
Jesus said to her, “I am the
resurrection and the life; he who
believes in Me will live even if he
dies,

Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel,
for it is the power of God for
salvation to everyone who believes,
to the Jew first and also to the
Greek.
Romans 10:14-17
14 How then will they call on Him in
whom they have not believed? How
will they believe in Him whom they
have not heard? And how will they
hear without a preacher?
Romans 10:14-17
15 How will they preach unless they
are sent? Just as it is written, “HOW
BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE
WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD
THINGS!”
Romans 10:14-17
16 However, they did not all heed
the good news; for Isaiah says,
“LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR
REPORT?”
Romans 10:14-17
17 So faith comes from hearing, and
hearing by the word of Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace you have been saved
through faith; and that not of
yourselves, it is the gift of God;
Ephesians 2:8-9
9 not as a result of works,
so that no one may boast.
