We need hope in order to press on in our fight against sin.
Romans 5:2 "Through him we have also obtained access by faith into grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God."
"in hope of the glory of God" could mean different things. It describes the object of our hope -what we are to hope for (hope for the gory of God). What are we hoping for? Freedom? Less guilt? That God will just take this struggle away? Let us hope for something far better! Hope that as you live in purity God will be glorified!
"in hope of the glory of God" describes the source of our hope (hope from the glory of God) The times that we are most full of hope are those times when we are awe-struck with God's glory and radiance. Thus the way to become full of hope is to focus on God's great glory.
