  1. Comfort and Reassurance Comes Through FAITH IN GOD
    1. Jesus commanded His disciples to stop being troubled (14:1+27)
    2. To remedy troubled hearts, Jesus commanded His disciples to believe (14:1+29)
      1. In God’s love, God’s protection, God’s providence, God’s truth and God’s promises
    3. Jesus emphasized the power of faith (Matt. 17:20; Mark 9:23; 1 John 5:4)
  2. Comfort and Reassurance Comes Through THE PROMISE OF HEAVEN
    1. Heaven is God’s eternal house (14:2; 2 Cor. 5:1)
    2. Heaven is a special, Jesus-prepared place for His disciples (14:2; 1 Pet. 1:3-5)
    3. Jesus Himself will escort His own into heaven with Him (14:3; 1 Thess. 4:16-18)
    4. Jesus made the way to heaven clear and conditional
      1. Jesus is the only way (14:4, 6; Acts 4:12)
      2. Jesus’ way is the only way (14:6; Matt. 7:21-23)
      3. Jesus ties inseparably true love and true obedience (14:15, 21, 23, 24, 31)
        1. Lack of obedience demonstrates a lack of love (14:24; 1 John 2:3-5; 5:3)
        2. Lack of love-driven obedience leads to eternal destruction (2 Thess. 1:8-9)
  3. Comfort and Reassurance Comes From TRULY KNOWING GOD
    1. Jesus came to show us the Father (14:7-11)
      1. We know God’s mind through His words (14:10; 1 Cor. 2:9-13)
      2. We know God’s power through His works (14:10-11; Rom. 1:20)
      3. To believe and know One is to believe and know the Other (14:1, 7)
    2. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to show us Jesus
      1. The nature of God is comfort (14:16; 2 Cor. 1:3-5)
      2. The nature of God is love (14:21; 1 John 4:7-8)
      3. The nature of God is truth (14:6, 17; 17:17; Psa. 31:5)
      4. The nature of God is revelation (14:8-9, 26; Heb. 1:1-2; 2 Pet. 1:21)
  4. Comfort and Reassurance Comes From GOD’S PRESENCE
    1. God answers the prayers of His people (14:13-14; 1 John 5:14-15)
    2. God abides with His people (14:16, 25; Matt. 28:20)
    3. God does not leave His people alone (14:18, 28; Heb. 13:5)
    4. God makes His home with His people (14:23; Eph. 3:17; Rev. 3:20)
    5. God gives His peace to His people (14:27; Phil. 4:6-9)
