Reminders of the gospel that was preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, that you may hold fast to the word preached to you.
If you look at your past and are depressed, it means that you are listening to the devil. But if you look at the past and say, unfortunately, it is true, I was blinded by the God of this world, but thank God his grace was more abundant. He was more than sufficient, and his love and mercy came upon me in such a way that it is all forgiven. I am a new man. Then all is well.
Ryan Bush:How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear. It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, and drives away his fear. It makes the wounded spirit whole and calms the troubled breast. Tis manna to the hungry soul and to the weary rest. John Newton.
