How the Gospel Generates Hope

This year I'm challenging myself to memorize more scripture, word for word. I'm using the ESV version which is a good word for word that my church uses. This Sunday we heard a great teaching on how the Gospel generates hope and I was talking with my brother about this and how I had a general idea of what Col 1:21-23 was talking about but word for word memorization would have made the conversation go better. So while I'm resolved for Scripture Memory he's resolved to finding the truth. This morning I came across a post that has Dozen Texts About the Truth

So I'll make it a point to memorize these scriptures that highlight that our souls desperately need the gospel.
Ephesians 1:13; Colossians 1:5;1 Timothy 2:4; 3:15; 4:3; 6:5; 2 Timothy 2:18, 25; 3:7, 8; 4:4; Titus 1:1, 14
