For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Tim. 1:12
The foundation of our faith is Jesus Christ. Our belief about Him effects our belief about everything else. Paul knew Jesus was the Messiah, the only begotten Son of God. Paul knew Jesus had died on the cross for his sins and had risen again on the third day.
Because Paul knew who Jesus was and what He had already done, Paul was fully persuaded that Jesus would keep His promises to him. In facing his own death, Paul found his faith was not only good enough to live by, but good enough to die by.
So is ours.
