Hope Does Not Disappoint

Romans 5:5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

My tribulation can disappoint (better word is shames) if I forsake my hope in GOD,
but if I don't my tribulation can draw me to a deeper love with GOD through the Holy Spirit that never shames. But instead actually draws me closer through the tribulations producing (vs.4)patience, character and hope

We need to look past the difficult event, knowing that GOD is in control. Sometimes I think we get like Job’s wife. Job 2:9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!"

The Holy Spirit serves many functions in the life of a believer; one very important function is for you to personally know that GOD loves you and HIS spirit can dwell in you is proof of that love.

1st HIS spirit is on the outside “with you” as JESUS said in John 14:17 "the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

Once a person accepts JESUS and becomes born again, the Holy Spirit enters their heart to serve many functions, PROOF THAT GOD LOVES YOU IS ONE.

GOD also proved HE loved us in what HE did through JESUS.
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
