Everlasting consolation

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.
2 Thessalonians 2:16–17

Everlasting consolation
True comfort comes from the eternal God, because as the Creator He knows how we can be consoled. Through faith in the Lord Jesus, we stand in a relationship with God as children to the Father. No human religion knows such a relationship of love and trust.

Our God loved us when He gave His Son to die for us. This divine love, which paid the full price for our redemption, makes divine consolation accessible to us. How many words of the Bible encourage us on our journey of faith, lift us up inwardly and are like balm for our wounded hearts! Thus, our heavenly Father has a word of comfort for each of us that fits exactly with our life situation and our inner condition.

Our God and Father also gives us good hope through grace. Often, He doesn’t change our difficult situation, but He directs our gaze of faith into the glorious future to fill our hearts afresh with confidence. The Lord Jesus will come again and take us to Himself. There in eternal glory there will be no more death, mourning, crying or pain. God will wipe away every tear from our eyes and make all things new (Revelation 21:4–5).

This hope can truly comfort our hearts and strengthen our hands for good.

PROVOKING POSITIVE CHANGE

Change is one event that is constant in life. Change denotes movement from one state to another. There are two categories of change: positive and negative.
