Isaiah 40: Encouragement of God

Isaiahโ€™s prophecy has been the source of comfort and courage to the heavy-hearted for thousands of years. This is Godโ€™s reassurance that the Lord still loves Godโ€™s own, that God is still our God, and we who have put our hope and trust in the Lord are Godโ€™s people.

Gospel of John: Election

From the human standpoint, we become Jesusโ€™ sheep by believing, BUT from Godโ€™s standpoint, we believe because we are Jesusโ€™ sheep.
