In a world weighed down by suffering, doubt, and the constant pull of the visible, how do we keep pressing forward in faith? John Calvin powerfully reminds us in Institutes of the Christian Religion Book 3, Chapter 25 that the hope of the last resurrection is the very anchor that sustains believers amid present trials. He calls us to fix our eyes on Christ in heaven, shows how the whole creation groans for renewal, and anchors everything in the historical resurrection of Jesus as the sure pledge and first-fruits of our own bodily resurrection—urging patient endurance until God renews all things in His perfect timing.
