Ephesians
"Remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world." That's Ephesians 2:12. What a bleak picture that paints! Without God in the world...
Fortunately, God didn't leave us in that predicament. Verse 13 says "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ." That is a good reminder for me to live in the truth that I am near to God. That should change how I live; without hope, life is bleak. With this hope in Christ, I can live every day in confidence and joy.
