We know God comforts His people through Scripture, especially in times of trouble, reminding us of His faithfulness and promises.
The Bible consistently portrays God as a comforter. In John 14:16-26, Jesus promises the gift of the Holy Spirit, referred to as 'the Comforter,' who would teach and remind believers of His words. This highlights the continued presence of God in our lives through the Holy Spirit, ensuring that we are not abandoned in our trials. Furthermore, the prophecies in Isaiah show God's intention to comfort His people, assuring them of His plans for restoration after discipline. Thus, we are reminded throughout Scripture that the way God engages with His people is fundamentally comforting and nurturing.
