If you’ve ever felt like your life is too big a mess for God to clean up or you have a loved one who never seems to get free, the following passages of Scripture should give you GREAT hope…especially when you realize who they were written to.

I’m going to give you 5 verses in their entirety and I encourage you to read all of them, even though it’s a little long.

“I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge, even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you, so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son Christ Jesus.”

Those are some powerful words of praise, both to God and to these believers.

In everything enriched in Him, in all speech and knowledge
