What evidence is there that Christian faith can bring hope, peace and inner strength?
Christians point to the experience of believers whose faith has helped them face fear, grief, illness, persecution and uncertainty without losing hope.
Many describe receiving peace through prayer, strength from the Holy Spirit and confidence that God remains with them during difficult times.
Christians believe that the foundation of this hope is the resurrection of Jesus. Because they believe that Jesus defeated death, they trust that suffering and death will not have the final word.
The evidence Christians give is the repeated experience of people whose faith has brought them peace, courage and endurance in difficult circumstances.
They believe that this strength comes from the Holy Spirit, and that their hope is grounded in the resurrection of Jesus and the promise of eternal life with God.
