Rooted (18) Malcolm Duncan examining the Apostles' Creed. "Life Everlasting...Hopeful" Outline: Man was not created for death, but for life that never ends. At the point of salvation a believer begins their experience of this everlasting life. This certainty of eternal life is a source of hope and peace in the life of believers. It enables them to cope with the temporary challenges of living in a world scarred by sin, and helps to remove fear of physical death.
