Fixing Your Hope - Karen Pourbabaee

“Therefore, gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:13NAS

Hope is a universal enigma. Everyone hopes; it keeps us spiritually alive and motivated on our journey. What are you hoping in or for? And how is that going? Have you ever asked yourself why is my hope not working, even if the object of your hope seems to be God’s will? Do you feel as if your hope is broken? Fix it!

The apostle Peter lays out for us the fundamentals of hope, taking some of that mystery away. Here are his steps to genuine hope:

1. Gird your minds for action: Prepare your mind for action. Find the truth in God’s Word. Then renew your thinking to banish entangling doubts, fears, or reservations. Genuine hope will only happen when your mind is girded with the truth, not your own plans and ideas. 

2. Keep sober in spirit: Be serious, thoughtful, logical, unemotional. Concentrate on truth. Sober living implies alertness and evaluating things clearly because you see clearly, knowing the truth. 

Girding your mind and being sober are the means to the end of the main thing, hoping fully. They stir up our hope! 

3. Fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you: 

When we fix our hope fully on Jesus, His righteousness and finished work, His grace is always revealed. He is the object of our hope. He is the only answer. Not things of this world we are hoping for or hoping will happen. Never place your hope in anything less than Jesus and His abundant grace.

Lord, help me to hope fully in Jesus and Your grace He brought us. Amen.

Jesus poured out His blood for the New Covenant of grace and truth, replacing the Old Covenant letter of the law of Moses. Believers are exclusively under the New Covenant, the last will and testament of Jesus that began after the cross. 

And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. Luke 22:20

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while they gain great faith at the same time. 

Running close to 5 stars with over 180 online reviews.

Recent Amazon Review: 

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus; but truth defeats lies every time and never forsakes the believer." 2-18-17
