Romans 5:5 (NASB95) - “And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”Life is full of changes. Jobs shift, relationships move, health declines, and even the economy rises and falls. In the middle of these uncertainties, we long for stability—for something that will not disappoint us. Romans 5 reminds us of a hope that is secure because it rests not on circumstances, but on God’s unchanging character.Paul begins by saying, “Since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (v. 1). That’s our past—our sins are forgiven, and our relationship with God is restored. What a relief this brings! We don’t need to wonder if we’re good enough. Christ has already made us right with God.But it doesn’t stop there. Paul continues, “We have obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand” (v. 2). That’s our present—we live daily in God’s grace. Even in suffering, Paul says, we can rejoice because trials produce endurance, character, and ultimately, hope (vv. 3–4). Hope that is not wishful thinking, but a confident assurance rooted in God’s love poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit (v. 5).And then Paul points us forward: “We shall be saved by his life” (v. 10). That’s our future—secure in Christ’s resurrection. Our salvation is not just about forgiveness in the past or grace in the present. It’s also about glory in the future.Where do you turn for hope? If it’s in money, success, or even people, disappointment will come. Anchor your hope in Christ—the one who secures your past, sustains your present, and guarantees your future.Prayer:Lord, thank You for giving me peace through Christ, grace for today, and hope for the future. Help me to rest in Your unchanging love when life feels uncertain. Anchor my heart in You, and teach me to rejoice even in trials. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
