Through the blood of Christ – Ephesians 1:7
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
Through personal repentance – Acts 2:38
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Related to forgiving others – Matthew 18:35
So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
God is immune to evil
Proverbs 21:30
There is no wisdom or understanding
Or counsel against the Lord.
Psalm 94:19
When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. — Psalm 94:19
God is our comforter, sustainer, and Lord. Only his gracious presence and tender blessings can bring consolation and comfort to our restless and discouraged souls. So let's turn to him, honestly confessing both our sins and our sorrows. Let's ask him to take our anxiety away and restore to us the passion, the joy, and the confidence of our salvation.
Bible Promises
