How do we know God provides comfort during suffering?
Answered in 1 source
God's provision of comfort is illustrated through His Word and the sacrificial work of Christ.
The assurance of God's comfort comes from His revealed Word and the sacrificial work of Christ. In Isaiah 40:1-2, God directly instructs His people to find comfort in Him, emphasizing that their warfare has been accomplished through the work of Christ. The Gospel declares that Christ bore our sorrows, enabling us to face tribulations with the knowledge that we are never alone. The pain and suffering witnessed in life are not meaningless but serve as reminders of the depth of Christ's love and the comfort He provides as the Great High Priest who understands our struggles (Hebrews 2:17-18).
