(Tit 1:2) “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;” When it says, “In hope of eternal life”, it is not saying we do not possess it now, for we have received the Holy Spirit and our spirits have been made alive. Therefore we have it now. It is saying, “We are expectantly looking for (hope) the completion of this gift; the changing of this body into a glorified body like our Lord’s; and the entering into eternity to live in His presence.”
