Show 147: Christian Hope part 2

In this episode we continue discuss the the topic of Christian Hope.THE ADVANTAGE OF CHRISTIAN HOPE.

He who hopes in God enjoys the special protection of God.
He who hopes in God can obtain everything from Him ; for Christ said that such a one might move mountains (Mark xi. 23).
He who hopes in God is strengthened by God, so that he is not afraid of man, and is patient and courageous in suffering, and more especially in face of death.
He who hopes in God is impelled to the performance of good works and of heroic acts.

THE OBJECT OF CHRISTIAN HOPE

The Christian may not rely on* his own powers, on his fellow-men, nor on earthly things more than upon God ; otherwise he is sure to fail, because outside of God nothing is to be relied upon.
The Christian may not despair; i.e., he may not give up hoping that God will forgive his sins, or help him in adversity.
The Christian must never presume on his trust in God's mercy, i.e., he may not continue sinning with the idea that God's mercy can never condemn him to hell.
 The Christian may never tempt God; i.e., he must never expose himself rashly to danger in the hope that God will save him.
