"Hope -- Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation. A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead,” (Barack Obama.) Without hope there is no power, and the organization, Eight Days of Hope, acknowledges that by assisting those that require support. Eight Days of Hope is a foundation that evidently shows the love and support of Jesus Christ by serving those in need. In addition, volunteers getting life changing experiences.
People who don’t accept Christ as their Savior will go to Hell. Revelation 20:15 affirms that fact that if anyone’s name isn’t written in the book of life, they will go to the fiery pit (BibleGateway). Salvation is the complete opposite of death (Kyrtatas). Matthew 13:42 explains what Hell will be like by saying, “and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (BibleGateway).” The apostle Paul said it best when he said that Hell is the separation of the presence of God. Revelation 21:8 describes Hell as a second death and proclaims who the inhabitants of Hell will be. It says, “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death
Hope is a feeling of desire to have something happen in a person’s favour. For example, when someone writes a test, majority of the time that person would hope to do well. One would hope to get a good mark to be proud of it, or to improve their grades. In The Book Thief, hope is seen in the books that Liesel likes to read. Additionally, Liesel’s guardians show hope for her to have a better life. As a final point, Liesel’s friends represent hope throughout the novel. An examination of her books, guardians, and friends, will prove that hope is a strong desire or feeling that is presented in the novel The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
An example of how hope can affect a nation is the Christchurch earthquakes in New Zealand. IN September 2010 Christchurch was struck by a strong earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale, leaving thousands of residents with injuries, without homes and hundreds of casualties. These people demonstrated hope, as although the region is still recovering and receiving numerous after shocks weekly, they still are remaining positive and hopeful. As a consequence of the people of Christchurch’s hope, people all around the world and New Zealand are wiling to give aid to e people affected by the earthquakes . Also because of Christchurch residents hope that the earthquakes will stop, the majority of them have chosen to stay in the region and help recover their city. With hope comes positivity. Although the people of Christchurch have been affected terribly by the earthquakes they are still positive because of their hope. This shows how hope can be a good and important thing for nations today to have.
Hope creates possibilities. Because when your positive around you it spreads hope. For instance, In the book Fever 1793, the character Eliza spreads hope to Mattie.

Being faced with adversity is enough to begin to question everything known, be it morals, faith, or self worth. However, certain individuals’ faith flourishes amidst life’s trials.

In the handout of the Fellowship Tract League, the Christian message of salvation through eternal life and faith in Jesus Christ is discussed, with the main point being that “eternal life is a free gift” because Jesus died for our sins. There are other Christian ideas such as choice and Jesus as the Son of God present in the text that work to convey this message of salvation.
