How does God strengthen Christians according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
God strengthens Christians by declaring His promises and affirming their identity in Christ, assuring them of His faithfulness.
The way God strengthens Christians is akin to how He strengthened Christ. In Isaiah 49:7, God declares His profound relationship with Christ, emphasizing that He is both the Redeemer and the Holy One. This act of declaring His name serves as a model for how God speaks to believers through His Word, reminding them of who they are in Christ. Thus, when Christians are reminded through the Scriptures that they are redeemed, holy, and beloved, they are empowered to face trials with confidence in God's faithfulness. This entails that the Christian life is sustained by faith in God's promises and the assurance that He is actively at work in their lives, reaffirming their identity and purpose as His chosen people.
