Hope definition
One of the three main elements of Christian character (1 Cor.13:13). It is joined to faith and love, and is opposed to seeing or possessing (Rom.8:24; 1 John 3:2). "Hope is an essential and fundamental element of

Christian life, so essential indeed, that, like faith and love,  (1 Pet. 3:15; Heb. 10:23). In it the whole glory of the Christian vocation is centered (Eph. 1:18; 4:4)." Unbelievers are without this hope(Eph. 2:12; 1 Thess. 4:13). Christ is the actual
object of the believer's hope,because it is in his second coming that the hope of glory will be fulfilled
