Good News OCTOBER 2023

Through Jesus Christ, God has
provided the only way by which helldeserving
sinners like us can have our
sins washed away. The Bible tells us
that Jesus conquered sin and death
when He paid the price for “our sins in
His body on the cross” (1 Peter 2:24)
and “was raised on the third day” (1 Corinthians
15:4).
In order to be ready to face God,
you must realize that your best is not
good enough: “for all have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God” (Romans
3:23). Turn to God, and simply trust
what Jesus has done for you. “God so
loved the world that He gave His one
and only Son, that whoever believes in
Him shall not perish but have eternal
life” (John 3:16).
Don’t be troubled — Trusting Jesus
does not mean that trouble will
never come our way. But no matter
what we go through, His promise is
true: “Never will I leave you; never will I
forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). When we
ask God to take the weight of our burden,
we discover that “the peace of
God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds in
Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).
So when wave after wave of
frightening events scroll across our
screens and spill into our lives, we don’t
need to fear. We can confidently trust
the One who holds the future in His
hands to be with us in every present trial.
As believers, we can also look forward
to the never-ending day when
every tear will be wiped away and we
will spend a joyous eternity in His presence.
“I have told you these things, so
that in Me you may have peace. In this
world you will have trouble. But take
heart! I have overcome the
world” (John 16:33).
