COMFORT and CONSOLATION in CHRISTIn a world of troubles and turmoil where do we turn to find comfort,consolation and solace but to the word of God?
{{ Let me clarify that when I mention the word of God I mean the King James Bible (1769) A.V. If you follow this blog,you will notice that I will never use PERVERTED bibles like the NKJV,NIV,NASB,etc etc and surely not The Mess-age which is a total mess! }} Yes,we ALL NEED COMFORT and CONSOLATION ! Life is tough,it is hard,it is cruel,it is very challenging… we do live in a present EVIL WORLD and SATAN is the god of this EVIL WORLD and surely is running havoc among people,and even among believers. Galatians 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this presentevil world, according to the will of God and our Father: 2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Colossians 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Our Apostle,Paul wrote this words 2000 years ago…the world was EVIL and the days were EVIL then and it is evident that nothing has changed since then,actually the situation has worsen and it is rather tragic and dramatic. There are more than 7 billions people on this sin ridden cursed planet and one wonders how many of the inhabitants of planet earth even know that there is a GOD WHO has been offering GRACE and PEACE and THE GIFT OF FREE SALVATION IN CHRIST to ALL who would simply trust in the death,burial and resurrection of CHRIST! One wonders,really. Since Acts 9,when THE RISEN CHRIST from heaven called and commissioned PAUL and made him the Apostle of GRACE,and gave him THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY,one wonders how many do even know that? THE MYSTERY is NOT MORE a MYSTERY but has been REVEALED,but even among the church-goers of the innumerable “Christian denominations”,very few if any KNOW that GOD IS IN THE BUSINESS of SAVING SOULS and EDIFYING SAINTS,building NOT a KINGDOM on earth but THE BODY OF CHRIST destined to the HEAVENLY KINGDOM! Sadly,tragically,the world as a whole is opposed to GOD and HIS CHRIST. The Churches are preaching another Gospel than the Gospel of Christ and just read what Paul said concerning this: GALATIANS 1 6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him beaccursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Beside the fact that Islam,Hinduism,Judaism,and a thousand “isms” have practically captured captives untold millions of souls in the darkness of Religion, Roman Catholicism and Evangelicalism and Denominations are out there preaching either another gospel or a diabolical mixture of LAW and GRACE and a RELIGION of WORKS that damns men souls!!! No Pope,no priest,no pastor,no shaman has the capacity to save anything,let alone YOUR ETERNAL SOUL!!! DO NOT RELY on anyone,nor man no church,no temple,no traditions,no rituals to be saved!!! ONLY FAITH IN THE GOSPEL of CHRIST is required..nothing more nothing less. Please,do NOT believe me,I am just a man…. BELIEVE GOD and HIS WORD I am just an ambassador for Christ,but I can point you to the right direction,and that right direction is THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ….HE DIED for our sins and was risen for our Justification… Romans 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Romans 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Once you believe and receive this Gospel that only Paul preaches you will find COMFORT and CONSOLATION… IN CHRIST and BECAUSE of CHRIST… here a few verses to encourage you : Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 2 Corinthians 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Corinthians 7:4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. 2 Corinthians 7:13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Philippians 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Philippians 2:19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that Ialso may be of good comfort, when I know your state. Colossians 4:8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts; 1 Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 2 Thessalonians 2:17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. Romans 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 2 Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 2 Corinthians 1:7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 2 Corinthians 7:7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. Philippians 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Thessalonians 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Philemon 1:7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. Grace and Peace to all…………………………………………………….Roberto Gagliardi Romans 16 :25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
