The Bible doesn't promise a life free of pain, difficulty, or loss. It does promise (to those of us who believe in Christ) that we will have a Companion along the journey to help, encourage, and strengthen us in whatever may come our way. The Promise:
"I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say: "The Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?" (Hebrews 13:5-6).
"I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say: "The Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?" (Hebrews 13:5-6).
He is the One who is our Sanctuary - In order to live a life that is an exclamation point in a world of question marks. If you know Christ, let Him build the hope of His presence into your life-experience.
If you have not given your life to Christ, you know this world can be a place of extreme difficulty and struggle. The good news is that we don't have to face it alone. Jesus Christ came into the world to restore our broken relationship with God and to give us lives of purpose and meaning, both now and forever. In the book of John (3:16) the apostle writes:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
By accepting God's love and forgiveness, we will enter into a new relationship with Christ. He is the only help and hope we need for life - and for eternity.
In his book The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren asks the question: What on earth am I here for? We are not an accident. Even before the universe was created, God had us in mind, and He planned us for His purposes. We were made to last forever!
