For centuries, people around the world have asked, “Does God see us? Can He help us through this nerve-racking time?” From cover to cover, the Bible testifies to this fact: God will judge and punish all evil. At times, however, it may appear that evil prospers and wickedness prevails. Evildoers have been battling the church all throughout its existence. Yet in contrast, God’s church has been and will continue to be sustained by the grace of God. Believers should build one another up in Christ and keep themselves in the love of God. The church is to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. The gospel message is irrevocable and true. The faithful transmission of the gospel message from one generation to the next is at the heart of the mission of God’s people, and lives are changed everywhere the gospel message is proclaimed. The mercy of God protects those who truly know Christ and sustains them in the gospel message and faithful obedience in the face of outward hostility. Jesus keeps His people from stumbling and will present them faultless one day. Comfort can be found during all of life’s greatest challenges, and there is no better time than right now to seek refuge and find shelter in God. Finding refuge in God is always our safest place. God offers hope in times of uncertainty and relief to people who are experiencing real troubles and fear. The church must persevere, knowing that nothing they face in this world can take away the hope they have in Christ. Truth will prevail. Deception and hypocrisy will be exposed, and will be judged––in God’s time and in God’s way. And the true church will be sustained by the grace of God.
