What does it all boil down to? We have hope for eternal life, and that hope is based on the Word of God, who himself died and rose from the grave. God has proven himself to be reliable, and therefore, we should rely upon the promise that God will secure eternal life for us. All of that holds true, and so we can have hope. If we built that hope on any other promise, then it might be faulty, but because it's based on a God who has proven throughout history to do as God says, then we can base a life upon that. Paul bases everything on it, and he encourages the church to do the same. Once we've grasped that, then we can truly have grace and peace.
