When you feel shaken, remember these unchanging truths about God.

This I recall to my mind; Therefore, I have hope. The LORD’S mercies indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:21-23

Our faith isn’t built on feelings or wishful thinking—it rests on something far more solid. Let’s look at seven foundational aspects of Christianity:

• God is. Faith must be built on the simple confession that the Lord is—He is real. He exists and is indeed God (Hebrews 11:6).
• God is love. He’s intimately concerned with your life and wants to engage in a relationship with you.
• God is just. His justice is absolutely perfect—even when He lovingly disciplines us.
• God is all-knowing. He knows your heart, your pain, and your questions. You cannot shock or surprise Him.
• God is everywhere. You never have to wonder where He is. Wherever you are, He is right by your side.
• God is all-powerful. There is nothing greater than God. Regardless of how enormous your challenges and heartaches seem to be, you can overcome them in His power.
• God is faithful. No matter how far you stray, He never gives up on you. Whatever you have done, He will always welcome you home.

When doubts arise or circumstances shake you, return to these truths, all of which are solid and unchanging.
