23. Galatians 5:5
EAGERLY AWAITING OUR HOPE

24. INTRODUCTION
 A few questions to stimulate your thinking...
 What is your hope as a Christian?
 How strong is that hope?
 Can you say that you are eagerly awaiting your hope?
 Much of the joy of being a Christian is related to our
hope...
 How real that hope is to us
 How eager we are to one day realize that hope
 How it enables us to serve the Lord with joy and patience
 In Ga 5:5, Paul writes concerning his hope...
 What he was waiting for
 How he was eagerly waiting for it (Grk., apekdechomai, to
await eagerly)
For what do we hope?

25. WAITING FOR THE HOPE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
 The hope of justification
 Paul had been writing about justification - Ga 5:4
 Justification and righteousness come from the same Greek
word (dikaiosune)
 Thus Paul is talking about the hope of being made right, not
guilty of sin
 They had no other hope of justification than by
faith in the Redeemer – Barnes
 This was Paul's hope expressed to the Philippians - Php 3:9
 A hope that sustained him in his last days, his darkest hours -
2Ti 4:8
We are to have a strong desire plus expectation (the

26. WAITING FOR THE SAVIOR FROM HEAVEN
 The Corinthians were eagerly waiting for the
revelation of Jesus - 1Co 1:7
 Paul also was eagerly waiting for Jesus from
heaven - Php 3:20
 For those who so eagerly await Him, Jesus will
bring salvation - He 9:28
We are to eagerly await the coming of the
Lord, for He will bring the righteousness

27. GOD PROVIDES THE REWARD
 ACCORDING TO OUR LABOR...
 God will reward each one according their labor - 1Co 3:8
 The more we sow, the more we shall reap - cf. Ga 6:7
 Those we lead to Christ will be a source of great joy - cf.1Th
2:19-20; 3Jn 3-4
 The key is to build on the right foundation: Jesus Christ! - 1Co
3:9-11
 EVEN IF OUR WORK IS LOST...
 The materials (i.e., souls) with which we build vary in quality -
1Co 3:12
 Only time and the judgment will reveal the true quality of those
we reach - 1Co 3:13
 If our work endures to the end, there will be great reward (joy) -
1Co 3:14
 If our work does not endure, we are still saved - 1Co 3:15
 Like Jeremiah, we might serve many years with little to show;
but the Lord knows and will reward our efforts! - 1Co 15:58

28. WAITING FOR THE REDEMPTION OF OUR BODY...
 Paul wrote of awaiting the redemption of our bodies - Ro
8:23
 This pertains to the hope of the resurrection - Ac 23:6; 24:15
 In which our mortal bodies will be raised and put on immortality
- 1Co 15:42-44,48-54
 Made possible by the coming and power of our Lord Jesus
Christ!
- Php 3:20-21
 We are to eagerly await that glorious transformation in
which our bodies as well as our souls will be redeemed
by the Lord!
Such are the things we are to hope for and await eagerly:
Our justification from sin, our Savior from heaven, our

29. WE WAIT BY FAITH
 Faith is our part
 We are to have faith "For through the Spirit, by
faith, we ourselves eagerly wait”
 Faith in Christ and His sacrifice, faith in His coming
 A faith that is Bible-based
 A strong conviction in things unseen; in
particular, Jesus
- He 11:1; Jn 3:36
 Which comes through the Word of God
- Ro 10:17; Jn 20:30-31
 Which gives us hope, like a light shining in darkness
- Ro 15:4; 2Pe 1:19
The eagerness with which we wait is proportional to
the degree of faith we have

30. WE WAIT THROUGH THE SPIRIT
 This is God's part
 "...strengthened by the Spirit we wait for the fulfillment of the
hope which righteousness by faith instead of the law insures to
us." - B.W. Johnson
 Paul wrote of God helping us to abound in hope via His Spirit
- Ro 15:13
 We receive the Spirit's aid as we:
 Walk in the Spirit - Ga 5:16
 Set our minds on the things of the Spirit (i.e., the Word)
- Ro 8:5-6; Ep 6:17
 Ask God for strength by His Spirit (via prayer)
- Ep 3:16,21
The eagerness with which we wait is proportional to the
strength we receive from the Spirit

31. CONCLUSION
 What is your hope (desire plus expectation)
as a Christian? It should include...
 The hope of righteousness (justification)
 The Savior's revelation from heaven
 The glorious resurrection from the dead
 How strong is your hope? It all depends...
 Are you growing in faith (through the Word)?
 Are you being strengthened by the Spirit
(through prayer)?
