Hope is one of the three theological virtues of the Christian religion, alongside faith and love. “Hope” in the Holy Bible means “a strong and confident expectation” of future reward.[this quote needs a citation] In modern terms, hope is akin to trust and a confident expectation. Paul the Apostle argued that hope was a source of salvation for Christians: For in hope we have been saved...if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it According to the Holman Bible Dictionary, hope is a [t]rustful expectation...the anticipation of a favorable outcome under Gods guidance. In the Pilgrims Progress, it was Hopeful who comforted Christian in Doubting Castle; while conversely at the entrance to Dantes Hell were the words, Lay down all hope, you that go in by me.
