Encouraging Bible Verses

Looking for some encouraging Bible verses? “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” – Proverbs 30:5.

Jesus said, “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” Oh, beloved, see to this! Under all the crosses and losses and trials of life, there is no comfort more desirable than the confidence that you have aimed at doing your Lord’s will. If a man suffers for Christ’s sake while steadily pursuing the course of holiness, he may rejoice in such suffering. Losses borne in the defense of the right and the true are gains. Jesus is never nearer to His friends than when they bravely bear shame for His sake. If we get into trouble by our own folly, we feel the stinging pain in the deepest part of our hearts. However, if we are wounded in our Lord’s battles, the scars are honorable. For His sake, we may accept reproach and wear it as a wreath of honor. Jesus delights to be the companion of a person who is cast out by relatives and acquaintances for the truth’s sake and for fidelity to His Cross. They may call the faithful one a fanatic and an enthusiast and all such ill-sounding names, but there is no need to fret over these things, for the honor of being Christ’s friend infinitely outweighs the world’s opinion. When we follow the Lamb wherever He goes, He is responsible for the results, not us.
