How do we know that Christ is our hope and help?

The New Testament repeatedly confirms that Christ is our hope and help, particularly in Hebrews 12:2, where Jesus is described as the author and finisher of our faith. He endured the cross for the joy set before Him, demonstrating His commitment to His mission and to us. Our reliance on Christ means that in times of trouble or trial, we can look to Him for comfort and strength. He enables us to persevere by holding on to the promise that He is always there to support us, urging us to cast our burdens on Him.
