Comfort From The Bible
In the Bible God promises
comfort to all who put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ:
When you
are troubled:
"Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I
will give
you rest" (Matthew 11:28)
When you
are lonely:
"Fear thou not; for I am with thee. Be not dismayed; for I
am thy God
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold
thee with the
right hand of My righteousness. (Isaiah 41:10)
When you
are anxious:
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and
supplicaton with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. And the
peace
of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds
through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6,7)
When you
are afraid:
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in
trouble."(Psalms 46:1)
"Yea, though I walk though the valley of the shadow of
death, I will
fear no evil; for Thou art with me..." (Psalm 23:4)
When you
face trials:
"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into
various trials, knowing this
that the testing of your faith worketh patience. But let patience
have her
perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing.
(James 1:2-4)
When you
are tempted:
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to
man; but God
is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted above that ye
are able,
but will, with the temptation, also make the way to escape, that
ye may
be able to bear it." (I Corinthians 10:13)
When you
need strength:
"My grace is sufficient for thee; for My strength is made
perfect in
weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9)
When you
need wisdom:
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth
to all men
liberally, and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him. But let
him ask in faith
nothing wavering."(James 1:5,6a)
When you
need forgiveness:
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins, and
to cleanse usfrom all unrighteousness" (I John1:9)
When you
need assurance:
Jesus promised, "He that heareth My word, and believeth on
Him that sent
Me, hath everlasting life and shall not come into judgment, but
is passed
from death unto life" (John 5:24)
The Bible tells us how we can
trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior:
RECOGNIZE: that only God can save you...not because you are
"doing
the best you can," but because of your religious efforts,
but becasue of
what Jesus Christ did for you on the Cross of Calvary. "For
by grace are
ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the
gift of God---
not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians
2:8-9)
CONFESS
that you cannot save
yourself, that you are a sinner worthy of
God's righteous judgment. "For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of
God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.(Romans
6:23)
BELIEVE the good news that Christ died for you and that He
arose from
the dead and now lives to save all who come to Him (Hebrews
7:25).
"Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved"(Romans 10:13)
RELY upon God's sure promise, not upon your feelings. By
faith declare you
are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ shed for the forgiveness
of your sins.
Openly confess Him as Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10)
If you have not received Jesus
Christ as your Savior and Lord, I encourage
you to do so now in the quietness of your heart. I invite you to
email me and
let me know if you have accepted Christ as Savior.
