Our hope in Christ is true because He loved us, gave Himself for us, and justifies us through His sacrifice.
The basis of our hope in Christ is rooted in His sacrificial love and redemptive work. The sermon emphasizes that our hope is not founded on human merit or understanding but on the promise that 'the Lord Jesus Christ loved me and gave himself for me' (Galatians 2:20). This assurance stems from His role as our righteousness and mediator, who intercedes for us before God. Thus, every believer can confidently assert their hope based on Christ's finished work and the promise of eternal life, knowing that He has secured our redemption and bears the penalty for our sins.
