Matthew 28:19-20
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

He died for you, and for everyone, down to the last sinner! The God of heaven and earth sent His son to die for the sins of the world two thousand years ago, and when He rose, His command to believers was to spread the good news to all corners of the earth. To tell people about their need for Jesus, making disciples in all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The world is a big place. Sharing the gospel hasn’t always been easy or safe, but you won’t be taking on the mission alone. Behold, He is with you always, to the end of the age.

Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

Because of Christ, we have hope! By repenting, believing, and trusting in Him, you can be forgiven of every mistake you’ve ever made, welcomed into eternal paradise with God. No suffering or sadness that you could endure here on earth is even worth comparing to the joy and glory that awaits you in heaven. So, if you believe it, put your hope in it. On good days and on bad days, be assured that you are headed for the Kingdom of God because of the blood that was shed for you. You can hope without wavering because the scripture tells us, He who bled is faithful.

Romans 8:38-39
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The God of every tremendous galaxy and every delicate flower pedal pursues you. He chases you like the one sheep out of a hundred that has wandered astray. Christ loved you before you were even born, and when He hung on the cross enduring unimaginable pain, He thought of you. And now, because of His death and His resurrection, there’s nothing in heaven or on earth that can separate you from the love of God. Could anything be more worthy of joy? Could any good news be better than that? What a wonderful, merciful God, that in His love for you and I He sent His Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

James 1:2-3
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

Even in sorrow and in pain, the Lord will use your circumstances to forge you into someone stronger and closer to Christ. When life is good, it’s easy to let God take a backseat, but when it crushes you, there’s no choice but to rely on Him to drive. The Bible promises that you will face trials, but it also reminds us that there’s hope in those dark days; something that we can be excited about, even through tears. Because when you’re as helpless as a lump of wet clay, God can mold you into someone strong, someone steadfast, and someone even more Christlike if you are willing to let Him.

Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

When you make Christ the Lord of your life, your life is no longer just one grain of sand in the hourglass of history. If you choose to follow God, He can use you to accomplish anything. Some people He sends into distant jungles in Africa to share the gospel. Some, He simply sends to the grocery store to share His love with the person in the produce isle. Whatever you do and wherever you find yourself, as long as you walk God’s chosen path for you, all things work together for good. Listen for His voice and He will guide your steps, writing a story with your life that only He could tell.

Philippians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

Over and over the Bible tells us to rejoice, be happy, and dwell on the good things that God has given you. He wouldn’t have been repeated so many times in His word if it wasn’t important! The Lord is the source of perfect goodness, perfect love, and perfect joy. Any happiness that you can find in life, you can find in Him tenfold. If the God of the universe is a God of joy and love, what sorrow could possibly stand against Him? Does any negative thing even matter? Rejoice in the Lord, always; again, I will say, rejoice!
