How do we know our hope in Christ is valid?

The validity of our hope in Christ is assured through Scripture, which teaches that true hope is not based on what we can see, but rather on the promises of God. Romans 10:17 tells us that 'faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' Our hope is anchored in the surety of God's Word that declares Christ as the fulfillment of salvation. Therefore, our hope rests not on our wishfulness or desires but on the finished work of Christ, who intercedes for us continuously at the right hand of the Father.
