He is a liar.
He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
He is an opportune lion.
Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
He is a thief.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
1. Hope our relationship with God
Peace and Hope
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[1] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[2] boast in the hope of the glory of God.

Peace and Hope
3Not only so, but we[1] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope.

2. Hope us that God is with us.
Peace and Hope
5And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
3. Hope our passion for relationships
A Call to Persevere in Faith
23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
