God, Love Me?

1 John 4:9-10 

9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

God's Comfort

2 Corinthians 1:3-7

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

4  who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

5  For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

6  If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.

7  And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

What He Is

The apostles fought with Satan as with a real person

Ephesians 6:10-18

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan stopped us.
