We must employ the divinely sanctioned means of comfort modeled by the Apostle Paul to experience God’s strength and hope in the midst of difficult times.
We should rely on and revel in the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives, who works to empower and embolden us as God’s redeemed children to effectively represent him in this world.
When the church is functioning as it ought, it serves as a strengthening and emboldening oasis for us as we venture out each day to point people to Christ in our anti-Christian culture.
Fear, worry, and anxiety for the Christian is sinful and illogical because we have an omnipotent Father who is willing and able to strongly support us when we put our confidence in him.
We must be careful not to presume upon the grace of God by expecting his salvation without possessing a kind of faith that values him and his will above the other loves and loyalties of this world.
Just as we can trust that nothing could ever defeat God’s intentions in Christ to purchase our redemption, we should in turn be fearless in pursuing God’s prescriptive plans and purposes for our lives.
Money cannot provide the fulfillment and protection it appears to offer; those things come from God alone and must always be enjoyed by Christians as byproducts of pursuing him.
Life will feel uncertain and perilous at times, but as Christians we must fix our focus on God, affirming his love for us in Christ and his good promises regarding our future.
As we learn to think and live biblically we experience an increasing sense of joy in light of the security and significance that God grants us in Christ.
We should be greatly encouraged that God has chosen to graciously include us in his indomitable plan to forgive and eternally bless a remnant of people for his own glory.
We must be mindful of the permanent & invariable love of Christ so that we live life with a grateful confidence and bold assurance regarding our relationship with God.
The incomparable love of God affords us permanent peace and enduring security through the past, present and future work of Jesus Christ on our behalf.
Christians, of all people, should face large-scale disasters with fortitude, courage, strength and transcendent peace.
We must seriously evaluate our relationship with Christ and his truth, so that we are sure we are not experiencing any false hope regarding our eternal destiny.
We ought to always remember the incredibly high price paid for our forgiveness and live compassionately and gratefully in light of it.
Because of God’s guaranteed grace toward his children we can confidently anticipate that we’ll arrive safely at our future home.
