"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stead-
fast . . . "
In a world where atheists and other fools would seek to shake us off from our faith in God, it is encouraging to know that our hope is anchored to an immovable Rock (Christ). Our hope is "anchored" on God's immutable (unchangeable) promise; and it is supported by the fact that He "cannot lie," (see v. 18).
Even as in the case of a ship tethered to an anchor, it is certainly possible for us to be "tossed and turned" a bit in this life--but even then, we are never lost. The anchor holds us fast. The "rope" which attaches us to our Anchor (Christ), is faith.
