The Christian Hope



Q. What is the Christian hope?
A.  The Christian hope is to live with confidence in newness and fullness of life, and to 
      await the coming of Christ in glory, and the completion of God's purpose for 
      the world.

Q. What do we mean by the coming of Christ in glory?
A.  By the coming of Christ in glory, we mean that Christ will come, not in weakness but 
      in power, and will make all things new.  

Q. What do we mean by heaven and hell?
A. By heaven, we mean eternal life in our enjoyment of God; by hell, we mean eternal 
     death in our rejection of God.  

Q. Why do we pray for the dead?
A. We pray for them, because we still hold them in our love, and because we trust that in 
     God's presence those who have chosen to serve him will grow in his love, until they 
     see him as he is.  

Q. What do we mean by the last judgment?
A. We believe that Christ will come in glory and judge the living and the dead.  

Q. What do we mean by the resurrection of the body?
A. We mean that God will raise us from death in the fullness of our being, that we may 
     live with Christ in the communion of the saints.  

Q. What is the communion of saints?
A.  The communion of saints is the whole family of God, the living and the dead, those 
     whom we love and those whom we hurt, bound together in Christ by 
     sacrament, prayer, and praise.  

Q. What do we mean by everlasting life?
A.  By everlasting life, we mean a new existence, in which we are united with all the 
      people of God, in the joy of fully knowing and loving God and each other.  

Q. What, then, is our assurance as Christians?A.Our assurance as Christians is that 
     nothing, not even death, shall separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus 
     our Lord. Amen.
