“How is It That Ye Can Attain Unto Faith, Save Ye Shall Have Hope?”
Given our discussion above, this question might be understood from two different perspectives. In the first sense it could be: “How can you gain faith unless you first have hope, that is, unless you first have a desire to believe?” In the second sense the question would be: “How can you gain faith except you shall then have hope, since hope in Christ flows from one’s faith in Christ? Truly, without faith there cannot be any hope.”
