ENCOURAGING TRUTHS FOR THE
DOWNHEARTED!
2 Cor 7:5-6
5 For, when we were come into
Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without
were fightings, within were fears.
6 Nevertheless God, that
comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
We all get down from time to time. Even the Apostle Paul, though
a spiritual giant, admitted to being “troubled on every side.” Externally there
were fightings and internally there were fears. He was cast down and then
comforted.
What can we do when we are cast down? Let me suggest that we check
the balance in our spiritual account. We need a reality check to see just who
we are in Christ. Consider the following truths.
1. GOD HAS ALWAYS LOVED YOU!
Jer 31:3
3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I
have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I
drawn thee.
Ps 103:17
17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to
everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's
children;
2 Thess 2:13
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you,
brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning
chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the
truth:
2. GOD LOVED YOU ENOUGH TO
ALLOW JESUS TO DIE!
1 Peter 1:18-19
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by
tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot:
Heb 9:12-14
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own
blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of
an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the
eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from
dead works to serve the living God?
3. GOD HAS INVITED YOU TO
BE PART OF HIS FAMILY!
Rom 8:16-17
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that
we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and
joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also
glorified together.
Gal 4:7
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a
son, then an heir of God through Christ.
4. HE IS COMING FOR YOU
SOON!
Luke 21:27-28
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud
with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look
up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Ps 126:2-3
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue
with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things
for them.
3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are
glad.
Dear Lord, whenever my heart
is downcast help me to count the many blessings of my salvation. AMEN
