, he explains that “faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen,” and that the life we hope for is revealed in Jesus, who declared in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Trey reminds listeners that Jesus is the pure substance and living proof of God's love, as shown in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” To love the Son is to love the Father—and this love produces hope rooted in obedience and faith. He emphasizes that true hope comes from aligning our will with God's, living out “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Jesus modeled this obedience perfectly, showing that real hope flows from loving God as He loves us. Trey warns that if our hope is placed in anything other than Jesus—such as behavior, lifestyle, traditions, or desires—we are hoping in the wrong things. We did not create ourselves, and we cannot give ourselves life; only God, the Creator of all, gives true and eternal life. He concludes with 2 Corinthians 5:1–5, reminding us that even though our earthly bodies may fade, we have an eternal home built by God Himself. Through His Spirit, He guarantees what is to come—a life of everlasting hope found only in Him.
