God comforts His people by revealing their sins, guiding them to Christ, and assuring them of His mercy.
God’s comfort comes through the work of the Holy Spirit, who convicts believers of their sins and directs them to the righteousness of Christ. Trials serve as a divine tool that reminds God's children of their reliance on Him and His grace. As believers face hardships, they learn to seek God’s face and remember the completed work of Christ, who has already overcome sin and death. His comfort is not to lead them into despair, but rather to strengthen their faith and assure them that He is constantly present. The assurance of His mercy provides hope, encouraging them to persevere and rely on His strength during testing times.
