       A good example of having hope in the Bible comes to us in Romans chapter 4. If you’ll turn over there or tap there, you can see this tremendous example to us, from Abraham in the Old Testament. The Apostle Paul talks about the faith of Abraham here, indeed noting his tremendous faith. Let’s note particularly verses 18 and 19, which say, “In hope he [Abraham] believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.” He did not weaken in faith” (Romans 4:18-19ex, ESV). And Paul goes on to talk about how his faith was not weakened. God had promised Abraham and Sarah that they would have a child, but they both were old, Sarah being past the normal child-bearing years for a woman. But nevertheless, they believed God, they hoped in God, and God eventually did what he said he was going to do.
