Meaning

Meaning of “there must be hope while there is existence”

MacDonald grounds hope in his theology of a continuously good God, making continued existence itself evidence, within his religious argument, that despair need not be final.

Source context

Where does it come from?

Unspoken Sermons, Series Two, ‘The Last Farthing,’ Project Gutenberg #9057. ‘There must be hope while there is existence’ occurs in MacDonald's explicitly Christian argument that where existence remains there must be God, whom he describes as forever good. It is nineteenth-century theology about divine goodness and ultimate restoration, not secular prognosis or clinical mental-health evidence.
