Romans 15: 4 - 7
For whatever things were written in earlier times were written for our learning, that we, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope. Now the GOD of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one toward another according to Christ JESUS, that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify GOD, even the Father of our LORD JESUS Christ. Wherefore, receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of GOD.
WOW!!!!! The Holy Scripture was written for our learning, so that we would become hopeful, patient, and comforted by GOD. When we are in that state of hopefulness, patience and comfort we can be like-minded and be in one body, peacefully. When we are like-minded, peaceful, hopeful and comforted, we are strong enough to receive one another as Christ receives us to the glory of GOD.
Think of a baby: when they are fed, dry and held in love, they fall asleep; they are at peace. Thus it is with us, when we are fed with the Scripture, dried out from the worries and concerns of life, and held in the arms of JESUS we are at rest and we sleep, peacefully.
THE SCRIPTURE IS OUR COMFORT
