2 Corinthians 1:6 says, “And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.” (2 Cor. 1:6). Jesus came to earth, conceived by the Holy Ghost, in the virgin, Mary, born of the virgin, Mary, espoused to Joseph (Matt. 1:18-25). He had brothers and sisters (Mark 6:3). He started His earthly ministry at about the age of thirty (Luke 3:23). And for three and a half years, He healed, did miracles, and forgave sins. And at Passover in 31 A.D., Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, He was buried, and the third day He arose to give us the hope and promise of eternal life in His Holy name. Alleluia and praise the LORD. Amen and Amen.
Comfort
If you experience difficulty in this life you will be comforted in the next
Luke 16:25 says, “But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.” (Luke 16:25). Jesus came to earth, conceived by the Holy Ghost, in the virgin, Mary, born of the virgin, Mary, espoused to Joseph (Matt. 1:18-25). He had brothers and sisters (Mark 6:3). He started His earthly ministry at about the age of thirty (Luke 3:23). And for three and a half years, He healed, did miracles, and forgave sins. And at Passover in 31 A.D., Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, He was buried, and the third day He arose to give us the hope and promise of eternal life in His Holy name. Alleluia and praise the LORD. Amen and Amen.

God comforts us in all our tribulation
2 Corinthians 1:4 says, “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.” (2 Cor. 1:4).

Comfort, Patience and Time – Do you have to “get out of your comfort zone” to become a Christian? – Part 5
Comfort, Patience and Time – Do you have to “get out of your comfort zone” to become a Christian? – Part 5
I have often heard that you must get out of your comfort zone in order to grow. This is the case with any part of a person’s life. Learning requires trying new ideas and seeing what works. Unfortunately or fortunately the Christian walk is one of continuous growth. That means continually getting out of your comfort zone, because it is our job to continue to change, becoming more like Christ every day. In this week’s article we will talk about what it takes to “get out of your comfort zone”, in order to grow in your relationship with God and others, using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice…cont’d.
Last, Christ is the perfect example of a person getting out of their comfort zone. He claimed to be the Son of God, and of course was and received the penalty of humanities sins for that office (Romans 8:32-39). So trust in Him to keep you when you are pushed out of your comfort zone. He is the only one who knows everything you are going through, because He has been tempted like us (Hebrews 4:15).

It is mentioned that when Jesus was to go away, that the comforter would be sent (John 14:26). This is great news for all of us! We have God’s spirit amongst us and if we accept His spirit, it will dwell in us as well (1 Corinthians 3:16). This is the gift God gave us after Jesus left His earthly commission until His return (Luke 11:13). The comforter, a.k.a Holy Spirit, is God’s Spirit (John 4:24). And baptism is a physical act in choosing to have that spirit enter our lives (Acts 2:38). The point is, when you get out of your comfort zone, whether it is with people or work, etc, believe that you have someone on your side!

If God is working in our lives and even if He is not, we will be put through trials. This is a fact of life living in an imperfect world. Regardless of your religious or non-religious affiliation, you will experience challenges. But you will never be pushed beyond anything you cannot handle that is a promise made by our Maker (1 Corinthians 10:13). I can speak from experience, as I have met many tests in my life. Some of these have been harder than others, including leadership roles, relationship challenges and financial difficulties. But no matter the trial, He has always brought me and those around me through; stronger than before and other great things have come and will come from these trials for you too!

Next, staying in your comfort zone may actually hinder your growth in more than one way. If you stay in your comfort zone and it involves sin it could be the death of you, literally. As the Bible says, “sin results in death” (Romans 6:23). Of course we are all pronounced once to die, but there are two types of death, if you believe what the Bible says (Hebrews 9:27). There is physical death and eternal death (Revelation 21:8). So in order for anyone to grow and really live, we must be willing to continually get out of our comfort zone for our very survival!

First, I would suggest that comfort starts in the mind. We as human beings have a certain routine and view of what our daily lives ought to look like. When something changes, this is when we get thrown off and at times we become more irritable or react in some way to resist that change (Romans 8:7). So is change good? Of course, there is good change and bad change, but the type of change any human being ought to be making is to develop “better” character as they grow in their relationships with others and Christ (Romans 12:1-2). This is the first and most important reason for “getting out of your comfort zone”.
