It is not a matter of what we hope to get out of our faith, so much as it is a hope which is given to us by our faith.

This quote from Ambrose comes to mind:

Redemption and forgiveness of sin is mine through a faith given to me! What more is there to hope for! The gift of salvation is already beyond the wildest imagination of the sinful heart.
