Ephesians 2:12 KJV
[12] That at that time ye were without Christ, …having no hope, and without God in the world:
Unsaved people have no hope. They may hope for trivial things for a short time. Yet their hopes vanish time and time again. They have no lasting hope of anything significant.
“There is nothing so cruel in this world as the desolation of having nothing to hope for.”
THE WIND-UP BIRD CHRONICLE by Haruki Murakami
“Totally without hope, one cannot live. To live without hope is to cease to live.”
Jürgen Moltmann
Yet, this is the case of most people. That is why people’s lives are such disasters everywhere.
Ephesians 2:3B-4 KJV
[3] were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
[4] But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
“But God.” These two words change everything. These are probably the two most important words in the Bible.
Ephesians 1:18 KJV
[18] The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
“The hope of His calling.” This includes so many wonderful things. Read the Bible to find out what they are.
