Being of good comfort means finding peace and encouragement in the truth of the Gospel amid life’s struggles.
In 2 Corinthians 13, Paul instructs believers to be of good comfort, a command that encapsulates the essence of the Christian life. This comfort is rooted in the Gospel and the assurance that despite trials, God remains with us, providing peace that surpasses all understanding. Romans 12:18 encourages us to live peaceably, while 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 reflects God as the source of all comfort. Believers can comfort one another through the truths of Scripture and the fellowship found within the church, which ultimately empowers them to face life's adversities with hope and strength.
