For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
Titus 2:11-14 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/tit.2.11-14.NIV
A blessed hope is the glorious appearing of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Death comes to us before this glorious appearing, but we should look at this death with hope because our Saviour Jesus in whom we believe has conquered death. When we loose loved ones in the Lord, we mourn with hope. 1Thess. 4:13-18 NIV
Our Hope is built on the gospel, on sound doctrine laid down by the Holy Spirit.
Therefore we should watch out for the condemnation of the devil as Paul warns in 1 Tim. 3:6NIV
