The life we have on this planet is under God’s curse. Even if we work hard, we will never be able to enjoy our lives completely. Every step of our lives will face challenges.
But the good news is that we have Jesus, who has pledged to support us even when our friends and relatives are unable to assist us. He is trustworthy and capable of delivering us from all of life’s difficulties.
While seeming to redeem us by taking on human form, Jesus also went through hardships and temptations on this earth. As a result, we can put our faith in him and accept his teachings in order to overcome the difficulties that emerge in our life.
