Resurrection Hope Fuels Endurance
Commentators agree that the core message is that a Christian's endurance through suffering is fueled by the confident knowledge of their own future resurrection. Just as God raised Jesus, He will raise all believers. This hope is described as an "effectual remedy against fainting" in times of trouble, allowing believers to face trials and even death with courage.
