How Do I Know God is For ME

Joshua 3:3;10-11

We live in a broken world:

Broken systems and governments

Broken marriages and relationships

Broken homes and broken people

There are wars, rumors of wars—there is civil unrest and societal messes

There are people who are in poverty, people stricken with disease and sickness

There are people who are bound in addiction or shackled in our prisons

The home is broken—full of broken spouses and broken children

You and me, yep—we are broken—we struggle with pride and our sins, struggle with grief, guilt, shame, and the misery that our sins bring

The Bible teaches us there’s a God in heaven who created us, loves us, and has plans for us

The Bible also says that our brokenness (sin) is what separates us from God’s love, grace, mercy, peace, forgiveness, and a relationship

How can a person know if God—who is perfect, perfectly holy, perfectly righteous and without sin, is for them since we are so broken inside?
