To slightly misquote the hymn, our confidence is found in nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
We have assurance of faith, salvation, and God’s strength as we spur each other on and remind each other regularly of Christ’s faithfulness.

Is this true for you today? Is God your salvation, through faith in Jesus Christ? Do you still fear death or the worries of life?

Psalm 27:1, ESV
When Paul wrote his epistles (letters), he was drawing on God’s Word (our Old Testament).
In Christ, we no longer fear death, punishment for sin, nor anything this world may do to us, for He has overcome.
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21, ESV
We are given the boldness, desire, and wisdom to ask the Father for our needs thanks to the One who made it possible and is making us like Himself through His Holy Spirit:
Jesus, the One who died for our forgiveness and rose again to glory!
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 5:21, ESV
We are utterly sinful.
Christ is completely pure.
He took on our disgusting, separating sin on the cross, so that, when the Father looks at us who believe this, He sees the purity of the Son.
