There are some truths that, when we constantly keep them in mind, provide a wonderful sense of peace and understanding. Consider God’s promise to always be with us. Years before the Messiah’s birth, Isaiah prophesied about Jesus, saying that His name would be Immanuel, which means, “God is with us.”

In this message, Dr. Stanley explains the significance of the Lord’s everlasting presence in the lives of His children. Throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we find example after example of God’s abiding presence with His people. Because of the incarnation, we can live like Paul and say, “I've been crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live, yet not I, Christ lives within me; and the life which I now live I live by the faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me" (Gal. 2:20, emphasis added).
