How do we know that God gives us everlasting consolation?
Answered in 1 source
We know that God gives us everlasting consolation based on His promise and the work of Christ, as stated in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.
The assurance of everlasting consolation from God is clearly articulated in Scripture, particularly in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 where Paul refers to God as 'the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.' He comforts us in all our tribulations so that we can also comfort others. This highlights that our consolation is not only personal but is designed to be shared within the body of Christ. The sermon emphasizes the understanding that God's comfort is everlasting, founded on His covenant of grace, and is experienced through the work of the Holy Spirit dwelling in believers, providing peace and joy amidst life's challenges.
