Comfort from God's Word

God's love

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: Psalm 146:8

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. Jeremiah 31:3

Ephesians 2:4-7
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16

We love him, because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19

God's Faithfulness

Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generation; …. Deuteronomy 7:9

(For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. Deuteronomy 4:31

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Psalm 105:8

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Numbers 23:19

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) … Hebrews 10:23

If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2:13

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, …. 2 Peter 3:9

O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. Isaiah 25:1

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Psalm 9:10

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth forever. Psalm 119:160

For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: … Psalm 119:89, 90

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 2 Corinthians 1:20

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Psalm 89:34

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. Isaiah 54:10

… yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass, I have purposed it, I will also do it. Isaiah 46:11
