Selected Scriptures
We live in a sin-cursed world. Though we are citizens of heaven, we are exiles on this earth toiling under the weight of sin, sickness, and suffering. As a result of this, we will face many situations and conditions that will cause much loss and deep, heart-wrenching grief. These may come in the form of church struggles, family hardships, broken marriages, rebellious children, loss of employment, slander, persecution, depression, anxiety, sickness, and – ultimately – death. Thankfully, the Word of God offers much hope to those facing these kinds of situations and provides godly direction for Christians to overcome grief and finding our ultimate comfort in Christ.
