With all the ‘doom and gloom’ in today’s news, why does the Christian have ‘nothing to worry about’?

Seven (7) Promises that God will spare us from his wrath:

Romans 5:8-10. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”

Romans 12:19. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 1:10. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

1 Thessalonians 5:9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Romans 8:35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Jeremiah 30:7. Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

(emphasis added, mine)

The ‘wrath’ referred to is His wrath, for an unrepentant, rebellious and evil world. He exercises His will and wrath during the coming seven (7) year tribulation and great tribulation (last 3.5 year period).

Seven (7) represents His divine completion to His plan or purpose, both to those who are saved by the blood of Christ, through the Lamb’s forgiveness of our sins and salvation through our belief in His resurrection and divinity. In God’s seven (7) verses above, He makes it divinely clear and without confusion that we (the True Church, Bride of Christ) have absolutely nothing to worry about because of our salvation and forgiveness through Christ.

Conversely, the seven (7) years of great wrath and tribulation is meant for the men and world who reject God and rebel against God, on so many levels. Not only do they reject God, but they also reject God’s attempt to save them through His Son, Jesus Christ. They reject Christ and His offer of forgiveness and salvation.

Good people, that is about as simple as I can state it.

During the times we live in, it bears witness that we should focus on God and Christ. That we should focus on these and other promises God has given us.

If we focus on God and His Word, we are comforted.

Come what may.

In His Service,
