The Comfort of the Scriptures Leads to Everlasting Hope

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through the comfort of the scriptures we might have hope”. (Roman’s 15:4)

When we place our faith in Jesus, God sends a new Spirit, a Holy Spirit to birth us into his Kingdom and to protect us with an Everlasting New Covenant.

A Covenant is an agreement with God. Every Covenant was sealed with blood.

Jesus picked up a cup of wine and gave thanks to God. He then gave it to his disciples and said, "Take this and drink it. For this is my blood of the new covenant that is being poured out for many people for the forgiveness of sins”. (Mt 26:27-27)

These are the Permanent Gifts We Receive When We Enter the New Covenant

EVERLASTING GRACE, meaning we are loved and saved by faith in Jesus and not by anything we do or don’t do

EVERLASTING RIGHTEOSNESS because we receive the righteousness of Jesus and not our own.

EVERLASTING JOY UNSPEAKABLE unspeakable knowing our destination is final and God has established us.

EVERLASTING PEACE that is beyond all understanding knowing all things work together for good for us.

EVERLASTING COURAGE and CONFIDENCE based on “The Two Immutables”

1.God’s EVERLASTING PROMISE and

2 God’s EVERLASTING OATH

God swore to never punish us but to give us salvation. ( Heb. 6:13-19) and (Isaiah 54:9)

EVERLASTING HOPE of SALVATION when we firmly realize this, it become an impregnable helmet to protect our mind from Satan’s attack of doubts.

EVERLASTING COMFORT is gained as we read the scriptures and realize these truths.

God (Yah) never withdraws a gift. His gifts are permanent. May he fill you with grace and his joy unspeakable and full of glory.

I forgot to add that after Jesus resurrected he sent the most important gift of all, The holy Spirit who gives us the spirit birth and guides us through this difficult life.
