Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Colossians 3:15, NASB
No matter what is happening in life, Christ is our peace. He dwells in our hearts, and as we meet as the Church He comforts us through each other, as well.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1, NASB
Life can be hell. Just as relief from the hot sun can come from standing in the shade, so too can resting in God comfort us from the burning torment in this life and the life to come.
Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him
Colossians 2:6, NASB
We receive Christ by hearing and believing the gospel. Likewise, we should be sharing the gospel and doing good works to help others come to the same saving faith.
‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
Acts 2:21, NASB
There is only one way to eternity with God: believe in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and make Him Lord of your life.

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.
Isaiah 40:28, ESV
The eternal God created all things, and He does not take breaks or nap (resting from creating the cosmos is not the same as ceasing activity altogether). How could we possibly understand His thoughts and understandings?
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23, NASB
If you lack any of these fruits, examine yourself and your salvation. All of these will spring forth as you pursue the righteousness of God and love others.
Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
1 John 2:15-16, NASB
Love your neighbor, but do not desire his things. Love your neighbor, but do not desire her. Love your neighbor, but do not seek authority.
“I, the Lord , search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.”
Jeremiah 17:10, NASB
God will judge every person: first, on how we each respond to His Son, then by how we respond to others because of His Son.
