Beholding Christ is essential for Christians as it brings peace, subdues doubt, and assures us of our victory over death.
To behold Christ is to engage with the very source of peace and assurance in the believer's life. As outlined in the sermon, looking to Christ not only calms our consciences but also helps subdue our doubts and fears, as seen in Romans 8:1, where we are reminded that there is 'no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' Furthermore, the sight of Christ gives believers victory over death, as Paul speaks of in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, indicating that we will be united with Him in glory. This is a profound truth that comforts believers in trials and assures them of their eternal hope.
