The Christian Comforter
Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear

An encouraging paraphrase from 1 John 4:16-19

I have known and believed the love that God has for me. God is love and because I dwell in love I also dwell in God, and God dwells in me. By this my love is made perfect so that I may have boldness in the Day of Judgement; because as Jesus is so am I in this world. There is no fear in love for perfect love casts out all fear; because fear has torment. If I fear I am not made perfect in love. I love Him because He first loved me.

Read, learn and inwardly digest this much needed antidote to fear.
Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning,
that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
The Christian Comforter is an area of the internet to which you can return as often as you wish in order to find peace and comfort for your soul from a Christian and biblical perspective.

Whatever the day has done to you
there will be words here to help you rejoice or to find consolation
Who is the One who comforts? 

Isaiah 66:13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 

The Comforter is none other than Jehovah – the self-existing One – the One who said to Moses, ‘I am that I am’. He is also the One who qualified that announcement with a more startling one: 

Exodus 3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. 

This is the One who is the source of comfort; this is the One who knows all your inner hurts and pains, even though on the outside you seem to have it ‘all together’, yet inside there is nothing but turmoil and anguish. He made Himself even more approachable when He became a man, known and loved by multitudes as Jesus, yet hated by even more than those who love Him. He can help you, if you let Him; just as a doctor can prescribe a medicine to make you better if you take it. Read the the words of Jesus: 

Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 

The Apostle Paul also echoes this theme in his letter to the Corinthians.

 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Will you come to Him and be comforted as a mother comforts her child?

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Acts 2:38 Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
