Re: Behold, I am coming soon!

Yet the light of hope does ****ne among these m***** through the gospel, 
which reveals the love of God to the world. This hope is itself a world-
shaking power of God which we experience in Christianity in a general way;

even the unbelievers take part in that hope although they are not aware of

it. It is by this power of hope coming through the gospel that the triumph

of darkness is prevented; it no longer makes any headway. Wherever the 
gospel comes, death is pierced through by the hope of life. Yet the hearts

of men are not free for God nor have they power for the victory over sin; 
thus, things in the world seem to go just as they always have gone.
