A few weeks ago, someone made the remark that “I didn’t think you thought ANYTHING was hopeless.”
Is that true?
Are there circumstances which are truly without hope?
What does God’s Word have to say (if anything) on the matter.
God’s Word states that the RIGHTEOUS always have hope because the RIGHTEOUS always have access to God–who looks out for the RIGHTEOUS–and to God’s POWER, which is unmatched.
“The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.”
–Psalms 34:15,17-19
God’s Word REPEATEDLY makes it clear that the wicked can expect NO such help.
“The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.”
–Psalms 34:16
“The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.”
–Proverbs 10:7
God informs his followers that NOTHING is beyond the power of God. That alone is the source of much HOPE.
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?”
–Jeremiah 32:27
IF one has access to God, then one has access to the Creator of ALL Things.
God grants access to those who love Him.
“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
–James 5:16
So, is ANYTHING truly hopeless?
IF one is a sincere follower of God or His Son, Jesus, then NO: nothing is without hope.
IF one is deceived and has placed his faith in man or the world, then YES: hopelessness is the lot of such folks.
The world has it’s OWN way of saying there is little hope for the wicked: “There’s no rest for the weary.”
Perhaps because the wicked are a weary lot?
There is NO hope for the wicked, evil or foolish once judgment has been rendered.
“For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?”
–Job 27:8
“The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.”
–Proverbs 10:29
“But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.”
–Job 11:20
DOES the reader believe that there are circumstances which are ‘hopeless’?
DOES the reader believe that certain conditions apply to these particular situations which render them ‘hopeless’?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
