Hope is found 53 times in the New Testament:
Luke (1), Acts (8), Romans (10), 1 Corinthians (3), 2 Corinthians (3), Galatians (1), Ephesians (3), Philippians (2), Colossians (3), 1 Thessalonians (4), 2 Thessalonians (1), 1 Timothy (1), Titus (3), Hebrews (5), 1 Peter (4), 1 John (1)
And perhaps the best HOPE for believers is found in Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Paul was looking for that BLESSED HOPE in his life time. The Rapture. He wrote about it in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; and in 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 he tells about the new body we will have. One like the risen Lord Jesus Christ, Flesh and Bone, no blood.
In deed the best hope for all believers, the coming of the Lord Jesus for all his saints.
THAT BLESSED HOPE.
