How do we know God comforts us?

The assurance of God's comfort is deeply rooted in Scripture, particularly in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, where Paul declares God as the Father of all mercies and the God of all comfort. This divine comfort is not merely theoretical; it is experiential. Believers often find the comfort of God manifested in their lives through prayer, His Holy Word, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, our Lord Jesus Christ, who experienced suffering himself, serves as the perfect mediator and comforter, having lived a life full of human experiences, making Him able to relate to our hardships and provide genuine comfort.
