How do we know we have hope in death?

The assurance of hope in death comes from recognizing ourselves as 'but grass' in the eyes of God, as explained in Isaiah 40. When we see our frailty and sinfulness, it leads us to a deeper reliance on Christ for salvation. This understanding is vital; we cannot save ourselves, and recognizing our dependence on God's grace is essential. Additionally, having faith in God's sovereignty in salvation reassures us that we can trust in His promises, further solidifying our hope as we face death with confidence in Him.
