The Power Behind a Christian's Life

Feeling out of control leaves people numb with anxiety and searching for strength. Paul prays that Christians will know God and grasp the confident hope He gives, not mere wishful thinking. At the cross, Jesus conquered sin, so death could not keep its hold on Him; His resurrection shows that victory has been won. Human evil cannot stop Christ from carrying out His good plan for His church. Hope begins by receiving Jesus, not by trying to repair life first, and rests in eternal life that cannot be taken away.
