Truths to Empower Us
- God does not condemn His children
There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)
- God is for us and not against us
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)
- Jesus gives life to our mortal body
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. (Romans 8:11)
- His Spirit dwells in us
However, you are not in the flesh but in the spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. Romans 8:9
- The good we give up in this life will be repaid one-hundred-fold in the resurrection
And everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or farms, for my namesake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life. Matthew 19:29
- We will shine like the sun in the kingdom of our Father
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear. Matthew 13:43
Since all of this is true, we have an inexhaustible reservoir of strength to keep doing the good God has called us to do despite our current situation.
