Our hope —immortality, or eternal life (Romans 2:7)—is based on Biblical reality.

Yet, many who claim to have Christ cannot make this their reality, for their hope is based on fantasy. The fantasy started in the garden of Eden when the serpent convinced Eve that she would not surely die if she ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3:4). Since that day, many Christians have based their hope on fallacies, damnable lies, and "the doctrines of devils" (1Timothy 4:1).
