“no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”
Isaiah 54:17, ESV
As Christians, we have the truth. No argument can defeat God’s truth.
And even if people try to hurt or kill us, we still have eternal life waiting for us in Christ.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33, ESV
We have no guarantee we will get everything we need in this life. Jesus promises us that if we seek His righteousness (realize the truth of Christ and obey Him), our ultimate needs are met, i.e. forgiveness of sin and eternal life.
But God also likes taking care of us in this life!
[The Lord is] guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.
Proverbs 2:8, ESV
God takes care of His people, watching over every move we make. Ultimately, He is guiding us to eternity with Him, taking care of our souls on our journey to Himself. Trust in God.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23, ESV
We all have sinned and deserve God’s wrath and separation from Him.
Thanks to Jesus, we are shown grace and forgiveness to eternal life.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
John 11:25-26, ESV
Believe in the resurrected Lord. Only through Him can we find eternal life and joy.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
JOHN 3:16, NASB
God is so much about relationship with us that He did what no other deity has offered: He became human, and then He died for our rebellion.
It sounds foolish to the world, that God He did this and rose from the dead, but believing this is what saves.
‘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.
Any other path leads to eternal destruction.
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
1 John 4:9, ESV
The ultimate proof of God’s love for us?
He sent His only Son to die on a cross that we may be brought into eternal life with Him (by simply believing in Him.)
And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.
Mark 8:34-35, ESV
God’s primary concern is not our happiness and comfort in this life.
God’s primary concern is His glory through the salvation of His people. That frequently takes sacrifice and suffering, as our greatest example (Jesus) gave us through the cross.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26, ESV
We get sick.
We die.
But God never does, and He never changes. Faith in the Son is what redeems us to become like Him.
