Romans Chapter 8 Vs. 25

Future Glory

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Rom 8:25

Without the clear and certain promises of the Word of God, the believer would have no basis for hope.

Those who respond by faith to that promise have hope, a confident expectation of that bodily redemption (cf. Gal. 5:5). This is the final step of salvation and it was in that anticipation that we were saved. The redemption of the body (Rom. 8:23) obviously has not yet occurred (Who hopes for what he already has?), but it is hoped for and eagerly anticipated (wait is from apekdechomai; cf. Rom. 8:19, Rom. 8:23) with steadfast endurance (patiently is lit., “through endurance”) in present sufferings (Rom. 8:18).
