▶ NEW PODCAST: 14 Why Hope in God Won't Let You Down

14 Why Hope in God Won't Let You Down

New podcast published on May 6, 2026

This episode explores why believers can have real confidence that their hope in God will not fail. In Romans 5:1–11, Krisan Marotta explains that salvation does not rest on the strength of our love for God, but instead on God's love for us.

In this week’s episode, we explore:

  •  What it means to have peace with God 
  •  Why biblical hope is not wishful thinking, but confident expectation 
  •  What Paul means by “the hope of the glory of God” in Romans 5 
  •  Why believers can rejoice even in suffering 
  •  How trials test faith, produce endurance, and strengthen assurance 
  •  Why the cross proves that God will not abandon his people halfway 
  •  How God’s love and the gift of the Holy Spirit guarantee that hope will not disappoint 

After listening, you’ll better understand why the Christian life is not sustained by your own strength, but by God’s faithful love. This episode offers comfort for anyone who fears falling short, showing that the God who reconciles sinners to himself is also the God who brings them safely home.
