The God of all comfort!



“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." -II CORINTHIANS 1:3, 4 [KJV]

What comfort we who are the people of God can find in these verses above. God is our Father, He is called the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. The self-existent one, Jehovah, the great I AM, is our comfort. He comforts us in times of sorrow. He comforts us in times of distress. He comforts us in trials and tribulations. Beloved, He comforts us at all times.

We see then, we who are comforted by God are able to comfort others, our brothers and sisters in Christ, by telling them and reminding them how God Himself has comforted them and us at all times. Never forget that you are not alone when you go through trials, as a believer in Christ our great God is ever with you and has promised to never leave you nor forsake you.

I ask you, do you need comfort during these times of uncertainty? Do you need comfort in times of struggle in your life? Do you need comfort as you look at your own sinfulness, even after we are saved? I know I do. When I see the sinfulness of my own heart, I cry out to God just as every born again blood washed child of God does and just as the publican did saying, “God be merciful to me the sinner.”

Look then to the God of all comfort, look to the Lord Jesus Christ, the only savior of sinners. He is the believer's source of comfort, just as He is the source of our salvation and all spiritual blessings which are in Christ Jesus our Lord! True joy is a fruit of the Spirit, just as love, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance are.

Let us look to our everlasting God who is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. Oh what joy will fill the believers heart when we do! Praise the mighty name of Jesus!

CHRIST OUR ONLY AND PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS

" The flesh lusteth against the Spirit." —Galatians 5:17 [KJV] Christian experience fully proves this apostolic truth. Hence the children of God cannot do the things that they would: nor have we any authority from God's word to conclude this lusting ever ceased in any of the saints till they got to glory; none are delivered from it while in the flesh. For, as the renewed soul or spirit loves to enjoy spiritual and heavenly objects, so the flesh, or unrenewed part, lusts after those objects it is naturally conversant with, and from which it derives its happiness.  Here is thy conflict, O Christian. Hence the necessity of thy Lord's command, "Watch always." This is the use of the doctrine. What woeful effects have fulfilling the lusts or desires of the flesh produced in eminent saints! Thou standest by faith, be not high-minded, but fear. The conceptions of lust are the productions of sin.— see James 1:15 . The commission of sin contracts fresh s

We see the righteous judgment of God against sin and the mercy  of God revealed through Christ. The Ark of God is a worthy picture and  pattern of how the Lord is pleased to save sinners and justify them in Jesus  Christ. Here are five things to remember about how God saves sinners. 1). The grace of God , "Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD" (Genesis 6:8) .  Noah did not earn, merit or deserve grace, he found God to be gracious. It  was the sovereign

3 LIES ABOUT GOD & 3 TRUTHS ABOUT GOD

 I want to share three lies about God I’ve recently seen tossed about on social media as truth by professed believers: (1) God can move in your life.......if you permit Him. (2) Christ can be Lord.......if you confess Him. (3) God can do anything ........except overcome a man’s will. Friends, if God doesn’t even have sovereignty over the human heart (without being granted permission, of course) who is serving who? Who really has all power in this universe? Many of you reading this post pray to God for the salvation of your loved ones. Yet you believe it is your loved one who has to grant God permission to save! God is left only to making their life miserable in the hopes they come to Him. Such foolishness! Such powerlessness! Truth #1 : God moves in the lives of His children without human permission . Truth #2 : Men do not make Christ Lord. He IS Lord. Your current opinion of Him no more changes His Lordship over you than if you declared a boiling lava pit to be a s
