Our living hope never fades and never fails. Our living hope never tarnishes no matter how much time passes. Our living hope always delivers on its promises. There is no sacrifice or annual renewal, there is no yearly fee to gain the benefits of this ‘living hope’.

5. His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
The main difference between a covenant and a promise is
that while, in a covenant, both parties have clear
obligations and responsibilities, in a promise, this
characteristic cannot be observed.
Instead, in a promise, what we can observe is the active
role undertaken by one party while the other remains
passive.

10. When you became a
Christian a great exchange
took place. Jesus Christ
took your place, and died
for you on the cross.
All of your sins were placed
upon Jesus Christ, and He
died in your stead.
In that great transaction
Christ got all your sins and
guilt, and you received His
righteousness as your
eternal position in Christ.
God exchanged your nature
for His. Colossians 3:3
Galatians 2:20

13. [Prompted] by faith Noah, being forewarned by God concerning
events of which as yet there was no visible sign, took
heed and diligently and reverently constructed and prepared an ark
for the deliverance of his own family. By this [his faith which relied
on God] he passed judgment and sentence on the world’s unbelief
and became an heir and possessor of righteousness (that relation of
being right into which God puts the person who has faith). (AMPC)

17. FAULTLESS TO STAND BEFORE THE THRONE
Philippians 3:8-9 (NIV) What is more, I consider everything a loss
because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I
may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of
my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith
in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of
faith.

18. FAULTLESS TO STAND BEFORE THE THRONE
Our holy God demands nothing less than absolute
purity, but even “all our righteousnesses are as
filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6) in His sight. But when we
enter His presence, we shall have “washed [our]
robes, and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb” (Revelation 7:14).

19. FAULTLESS TO STAND BEFORE THE THRONE
“Now unto Him that is able to keep you from
falling, and to present you faultless before the
presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To
the only wise God our Savior, be glory and
majesty, dominion and power, both now and
ever. Amen” (Jude 24,25). (KJV)
