Christian Minister’s Manual New International Version

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Selah.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah.

Come and see the works of the Lord, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields with fire. “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

The reason we can have hope is because of what the Lord has done for us...

You will eat bread by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground, since you were taken from it. For you are dust, and you will return to dust.”

This verse is said in a curse upon man after creation because of the sin of man....

peak of creation, God made man speacialMan disobeyed GodGod’s desire is reconciliation… We, like Adam and Eve still sin... For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of GodWe earn eternal separation from God because of our sin… For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our LordWe do not have to “get right with God” as in get better so he can love usRomans 5:8 For God demonstrates his love for us, that while we were still sinners, Christ died for usAll we have to do, is believe in Him... If you confess that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
