Third Edition
Life is a gift of God. It is beautiful yet unpredictable.
Everyone goes through good times and difficult situations in life.
Listed here are the top ten problems and fears that researchers
have found to trouble us the most. For each, Bible verses that
address the issue have been given along with notes on the
passages from the new Life Application Study Bible, Third Edition.
1. RELATIONSHIP ISSUES
Human beings are relational. Men and women relate to each other. Friends relate to friends. Children
relate to parents. Adults relate to employers, teachers, and government workers. Everything in life
revolves around relationships. Why are so many of us so bad at them? And on top of that, we fear
relationship breakdown in many ways, including divorce, alienation of children, and conflicts with
colleagues or friends.
SCRIPTURES AND LIFE APPLICATION NOTES
Matthew 7:1-3, NLT: “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat
others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. And why worry about
a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 7:1-5 By saying, “Do not judge others,” Jesus was rebuking the hypocritical,
judgmental attitude that tears others down in order to build oneself up. This is not a blanket statement to
overlook sinful behavior of others but a call to be discerning rather than negative. Turning a blind eye to
things done wrong shows that we have lost our moral compass. This leads to relativism, a worldview in
which all actions, moral or not, are equally acceptable. Jesus said to expose false prophets (7:15-23), and
Paul taught that we should exercise church discipline (1 Corinthians 5:1-2) and trust God to be the final
judge (1 Corinthians 4:3-5).
James 1:19, NLT: “Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to
speak, and slow to get angry.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 1:19 When we talk too much and listen too little, we communicate to others
that we think our ideas are more important than theirs. James wisely advises us to reverse this process. Put
a mental stopwatch on your conversations, and keep track of how much you talk and how much you listen.
When people talk with you, do they feel that their viewpoints and ideas have value?
1 Thessalonians 5:11, NLT: “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 5:9-11 As you near the end of a long race, your legs ache, your chest burns,
and your whole body cries out for you to stop. This is the moment when friends and fans are most valuable.
Their encouragement helps you push through the pain to the finish line. In the same way, Christians are to
encourage one another. A word of encouragement offered at the right moment can be the difference
between finishing well and collapsing along the way. Look around you. Be sensitive to others’ need for
encouragement and offer supportive words or acts of service.
Facing Our 10 Biggest Fears: A sample of Scripture and Commentary from the new Life Application Study Bible - Third Edition.
2. CONCERNS ABOUT JOBS AND MONEY
Will the money last? Will I have a job tomorrow? Most people are concerned about their income,
especially the lack of income. Some have more than enough money but worry that they’ll lose it.
Others have just enough to squeak by today but are not sure about tomorrow. Some fear natural
disasters that can take away all that they have.
Proverbs 3:9-10, NLT: “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.
Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 3:9-10 This refers to the practice of giving for God’s use the first and best
portion of the harvest (Deuteronomy 26:9-11). Many people give God their leftovers. If they can afford to
donate anything after the bills are paid and their wants are met, they do so. These people may be sincere
and contribute willingly, but their attitude is nonetheless backward. To give God the first part of our income
demonstrates that he has first place in our lives and that our resources belong to him. We are only managers
of God’s resources. Giving to God first helps us conquer greed, prioritizes our role in contributing to God’s
Kingdom work in the world, and opens us up to receive the special blessings he promises to those who put
him and his purposes above all else.
Ecclesiastes 5:10, NLT: “Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that
wealth brings true happiness!”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 5:10-12 We always want more than we have. Solomon observed that those
who spend their lives obsessively seeking money never have enough and never find the happiness it
promises. Accumulating more and more wealth encourages greed, and wealth also attracts freeloaders and
thieves, causes sleeplessness and fear, and ultimately ends in loss because it must be left behind (Mark
10:23-25; Luke 12:16-21). No matter how much you earn, if you try to create happiness by accumulating
wealth, you will never have enough. Supporting yourself and your family financially is not wrong, but loving
money leads to all sorts of sin. Whatever your financial situation, don’t depend on money to make you
happy or feel secure. Instead, use what you have for the Lord.
1 Timothy 6:6-10, NLT: “Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought
nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if
we have enough food and clothing, let us be content. But people who long to be rich fall into temptation
and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the
love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the
true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTES: 6:6 This statement is the key to spiritual growth and personal fulfillment. We
should honor God and center our desires on him (Matthew 6:33), and we should be content with what he
is doing in our lives (Philippians 4:11-13)
6:8-9 “If we have enough . . . let us be content.” But when is enough enough? How can we truly be content?
There is a difference between what we need and what we want. We may have all we need to live (that is,
we have enough), but we let ourselves become anxious and discontent over what we merely want. Like
Paul, we can choose to be content without having all that we want. The only alternative is to be “trapped
by many foolish and harmful desires” that ultimately lead only to “ruin and destruction.” Ask God to provide
what you need and to disperse any anxious desires that you may have.
3. FAILURE AND THE FUTURE
What should I do with my life? Where are things headed? Scores of questions abound regarding the
future–what it holds, how people are to face it. Dealing with a failure is a tough situation. Failure may
be an exam result, a bad job interview, a rejection, or a setback. Whatever form, it always hurts.
2 Timothy 1:7, NLT: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 1:7 Paul mentions three characteristics that effective Christian leaders need:
power, love, and self-discipline. Power does not refer to having a dynamic personality but to the boldness
that comes from confidence in the gospel (Romans 1:16). Love pairs care and concern with tenderhearted
treatment of those we serve. A good leader must have a cool head and keep tight reigns on his or her
selfish desires. These are available to us because the Holy Spirit lives in us. Follow his leading each day so
that your life will more fully exhibit these characteristics. (See Galatians 5:22-23 for a list of the by-products
of the Holy Spirit living in us.)
Isaiah 40:31, NLT: “But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like
eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 40:31 Part of trusting in the Lord is expecting that his promise of strength will
help us to rise above life’s distractions and difficulties. Do you believe God loves you and wants the best
for you? Can you relax, confident that his purposes are right? Are you convinced that he has the power to
control all of life—and your life as well? Though your faith may be struggling or weak, hold on tightly to it,
and you will begin to experience the strength you need.
4. SERIOUS ILLNESS AND DISABILITY
What happens if I get sick? How will my family get by? Illness is perhaps the most common human
threat to wellbeing. Everyone gets hit by an illness at some point. Some people have the challenge of
a recurring health issue or a permanent disability.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20, NLT: “Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in
you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price.
So you must honor God with your body.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 6:19-20 What did Paul mean when he said that our bodies belong to God?
Many people say they have the right to do whatever they want with their own bodies. Although they think
that this is freedom, they are really enslaved to their own desires. When we become Christians, the Holy
Spirit comes to live in us; therefore, we no longer own our bodies. That we have been “bought . . . with a
high price” brings to mind the picture of slaves purchased at an auction. Christ’s death freed us from sin
but also obligates us to his service. If you live in a building owned by someone else, you try not to violate
the building’s rules. Because your body belongs to God, you must not violate his standards for living.
Isaiah 41:10, NLT: “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will
strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 41:8-10 We need not fear because (1) God is with us (“I am with you”); (2) God
has established a relationship with us (“I am your God”); and (3) God gives us assurance of his strength,
help, and victory over sin and death. Are you aware of all the ways God has helped you?
2 Corinthians 4:16-18, NLT: “That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits
are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they
produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the
troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see
now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTES: 4:16 It is easy to lose heart and quit. We have all faced problems in our
relationships or in our work that have caused us to think about giving up. Rather than quitting when
persecution wore him down, Paul concentrated on experiencing the inner strength that comes from the
Holy Spirit (Ephesians 3:16). Don’t let fatigue, pain, or criticism force you off the job. Renew your commitment
to serving Christ. Don’t forsake your eternal reward because of the intensity of today’s pain. Your temporary
weakness allows the resurrection power of Christ to strengthen you moment by moment.
4:17 Our troubles do not need to diminish our faith or disillusion us. We should realize that God cares
deeply about our suffering, even when we don’t have tangible evidence of his work. However, our problems
and human limitations can have several positive results: (1) They can teach us how to suffer with Christ. (2)
They can teach us to persevere faithfully. (3) They can teach us to look beyond this life for hope. (4) They
can be used by God to demonstrate his power. Even when our pain feels great, God is still good and
faithful, and his glory is always greater.
4:18 Paul gives a strategy for how to cope with terrible illness, persecution, or pain. We are to fix our hope
not on this life but on the life to come. Knowing that we will live forever with God in a place without sin and
suffering can help us live above the pain that we face in this life.
5. DEATH OF A LOVED ONE
When a loved one dies, our hearts are broken as we grieve and our lives are altered. Many people
recover from this and continue on with their lives. Others never fully recover. The loss of a loved
one turns your life upside down. It can be hard to know what to do.
Isaiah 53:4, NLT: “Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And
we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins!”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 53:4-5 How could an Old Testament person understand the idea of the
Messiah dying for his people’s sins—actually bearing the punishment that we deserve? The system of
sacrifices pointed to this idea, but killing a lamb is one thing; thinking of God’s chosen servant as that Lamb
is quite different. But God was pulling aside the curtain of time to let the people of Isaiah’s day look ahead
to see the suffering Messiah and the resulting forgiveness made available to all people.
Matthew 5:4, NLT: “God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
Key Lessons from the Beatitudes chart:

Beatitude: Mourning (5:4)
Old Testament Anticipation: Isaiah 61:1-2
Clashing Worldly Value: Happiness at any cost
God’s Reward: Comfort (2 Corinthians 1:4)
How to Develop This Attitude: Psalm 51; James 4:7-10
John 11:32-35, NLT: “When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, ‘Lord, if only you
had been here, my brother would not have died.’ When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people
wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within him, and he was deeply troubled. ‘Where have you put
him?’ he asked them. They told him, ‘Lord, come and see.’ Then Jesus wept.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 11:33-37 John stresses that God cares for us. When Jesus saw the weeping
and wailing, he, too, wept openly. Perhaps he empathized with their grief, or perhaps he was troubled at
their unbelief or at death’s destructive grip. Whatever the case, Jesus showed that he cares enough for us
to weep with us in our sorrow. Here we see many of Jesus’ emotions—compassion, indignation, anger,
sorrow, and even frustration. In his life on earth he often expressed deep emotion, and we must never be
afraid to reveal our true feelings to him. He understands them, for he experienced them. Be honest, and
don’t try to hide anything from your Savior. He cares.
6. FAITH AND MEANING
Is there a God? Or is this life all there is? Are we alone in the universe? What’s the big deal about
Jesus? Why are Christians so focused on him? Do we really need religion?
Romans 1:20, NLT: “For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky.
Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and
divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 1:20 (2) God reveals his divine nature and personal qualities through creation,
even though creation’s testimony has been distorted by the Fall. Adam’s sin resulted in a divine curse upon
the whole natural order (Genesis 3:17-19); thorns and thistles were an immediate result, and natural
disasters have been common from Adam’s day to ours. In Romans 8:19-21, Paul says that nature itself is
eagerly awaiting its own redemption from the effects of sin (see Revelation 22:3).
John 20:29, NLT: “Then Jesus told him, ‘You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who
believe without seeing me.’”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 20:24-29 Have you ever wished you could actually see Jesus, touch him, and
hear his words? At times do you wish you could sit with him and get his advice? Thomas wanted Jesus’
physical presence. But God’s plan is wiser. He has not limited himself to one physical body; he wants to be
present with you at all times. Even now he is with you in the person of the Holy Spirit. You can talk to him,
and you can find his words to you in the pages of the Bible. He can be as real to you as he was to Thomas.
John 3:16-17, NLT: “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone
who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the
world, but to save the world through him.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTES: 3:16 (1) The message of the Good News comes to a focus in this verse.
God’s love is not static or self-centered; it reaches out and draws others in. Here God sets the pattern of
true love, the basis for all love relationships—when you love someone dearly, you are willing to give to
them freely, to the point of self-sacrifice. God paid dearly with the life of his Son, the highest price he
could pay. Jesus accepted our punishment, paid the price for our sins, and then offered us the new life
that he had bought for us. When we share the Good News with others, our love must be like Jesus’—
willing to give up our own comfort and security so that others might join us in receiving God’s love.
3:16 (2) Some people are not interested in the idea of eternal life because their lives are miserable. They
wouldn’t want them to go on forever. But eternal life is not an extension of a person’s mortal life. In
eternal life, there is no death, sickness, enemy, evil, or sin. When we don’t know Jesus, we make choices
as though this life is all there is, and we can’t imagine the bad being eliminated or redeemed into something
good and wonderful. In reality, eternal life can be entirely different from the life you are living now. But you will
need to ask Jesus for the new life he offers and follow him in order to receive it. Then you will begin to evaluate
all that happens to you from an eternal perspective, and you will begin to truly look forward to eternity.
3:16 (3) To believe is more than to give intellectual agreement that Jesus is God. It means to put our trust
and confidence in him that he alone can save us. It is to put Jesus in charge of our present plans and
eternal destiny. Believing is both trusting his words as reliable and relying on him for the power to change.
If you have never trusted Jesus with your whole life, let this promise of everlasting life be yours—believe.
7. WAR AND TERRORISM
Are we headed toward the destruction of the world? Why can’t we just all live together? Why can’t
we live at peace? Why do other people call for our deaths and hate us so much? What should our
response be?
Matthew 24:6, NLT: “And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things
must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 24:6-8 Every generation wonders if the wars they see mean the end of the
world. When Jerusalem was destroyed in AD 70, it must have seemed like the end was near. World War II
saw all nations at war and millions of Jews killed; then Israel became its own nation again. Surely these
seemed like signs of the end. Today, we face threats of terrorism and nuclear devastation, but God still
rules the world. Jesus told us not to panic. Wars or other catastrophic events will not be the confirming sign
of his return. He will return when he decides and commands.
Isaiah 2:4, NLT: “The Lord will mediate between nations and will settle international disputes. They will
hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer fight
against nation, nor train for war anymore.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 2:4-5 This describes a wonderful future of peace when instruments of war will
be converted to instruments of farming and when we will be taught God’s laws and will obey them. Although
we know that eventually God will remove all sin and thus the causes of war, conflicts, and other problems,
we should not wait for him to act before we begin to obey him Light refers to God’s revelation of himself,
which came to us ultimately in Jesus (John 1:4-5) and allows us to see what is true and right. We should
walk in his light now, just as the people of Judah were told to do. Though our eternal reward awaits us, we
already can enjoy many benefits of obedience now as we apply God’s Word to our lives.
Psalm 23:4, NLT: “Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close
beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 23:4 Death casts a frightening shadow over us because we are entirely
helpless in its presence. We can struggle with other enemies—pain, depression, disease, and injury—
but our strength and courage cannot overcome death. In terms of this life, death has the final word. Only
one person can walk with us through death’s dark valley and bring us safely to the other side—the God
of life, our Shepherd. Because life is uncertain, we should follow this Shepherd, who offers us eternal
comfort and light in the darkness.
8. ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION
Anxiety and depression are on the rise among Americans, and whether they personally suffer from
these conditions or not, most people today see them as major problems among their peers.
Romans 8:38-39, NLT: “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither
death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not
even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth
below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is
revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 8:38-39 Powers are unseen forces of evil in the universe, forces such as
Satan and his demons (see Ephesians 6:12). As believers who have Jesus’ power available to us, we
will experience great victory both now and for eternity (Romans 8:37). Hold these two verses deeply in
your heart and mind. Claim them for yourself so you will never doubt God’s love and care for you,
especially when you are facing great adversity.
Psalm 46:1-3, NLT: “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will
not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam.
Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 46:1-3 The fear of mountains or cities suddenly crumbling into the sea as
the result of an earthquake or a nuclear blast haunts many people today. But the psalm writer says that
even if the world were to end, we need not fear. In the face of utter destruction, the writer expressed a
quiet confidence in God’s ability to save us. It seems impossible to consider the end of the world
without becoming consumed by fear, but the Bible is clear—God is our refuge even in the face of total
destruction. He is not merely a temporary retreat; he is our eternal place of safety and can provide
strength in any circumstance.
Philippians 4:8, NLT: “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is
true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent
and worthy of praise.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 4:8 What we put into our minds determines what comes out in our words,
desires, and actions. Paul tells us to train our minds to focus on thoughts that are true, honorable, right,
pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and worthy of praise. Do you have problems with impure thoughts
and daydreams? Examine what you are putting into your mind through movies, the Internet, books,
conversations, television, video games, and magazines. Replace harmful input with wholesome
material. Above all, read God’s Word and pray. Ask God to help you fill your mind with good and pure
thoughts. This takes practice, but it can be done.
9. ADDICTIONS
Some of the same addictions have haunted humankind since Creation, and the power of other
lures seems to shift from generation to generation. There is no doubt that as people we are often
unable to resist even the deadliest temptations without God’s help. Today, drug and alcohol
addiction is rampant, but so are additions to sex, possessions, work, and even social media.
1 Corinthians 10:13, NLT: “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And
God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he
will show you a way out so that you can endure.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 10:13 In a culture filled with moral depravity and sin-inducing pressures,
Paul encouraged the Corinthians regarding temptation. He said that (1) everyone faces temptation, so
don’t feel like you’ve been singled out; (2) others have resisted temptation, and so can you; (3) any
temptation can be resisted, because God will show you a way to resist it. God will help you resist
temptation by helping you (1) recognize the people and situations that give you trouble, (2) run from
anything you know is wrong, (3) choose to do only what is right, (4) pray for God’s help, and (5) seek
friends or church leaders who love God and can offer help when you are tempted. Running from a
tempting situation is your first step on the way to victory (see 2 Timothy 2:22).
1 John 2:15-16, NLT: “Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you
do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a
craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the
Father, but are from this world.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 2:15-16 Some people think that worldliness only has to do with external
behavior—the people we associate with, the places we go, the activities we enjoy. But worldliness
affects us internally because it begins in the heart and is characterized by three attitudes: (1) craving for
physical pleasure—preoccupation with gratifying physical desires; (2) craving for everything we see—
the accumulation of things, bowing to the god of materialism; and (3) pride in our achievements and
possessions—obsession with our status or importance. When the serpent tempted Eve (Genesis 3:6),
he tempted her in these areas. When the devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness, these were also his
three areas of attack (see Matthew 4:1-11).
By contrast, God values self-control, generosity, and a commitment to humble service. It is possible to
give the impression of avoiding worldly pleasures while still harboring worldly desires in one’s heart.
But, like Jesus, we should love sinners and spend time with them while closely adhering to the values
of God’s Kingdom. What values are most important to you? Do your actions reflect the world’s values
or God’s values?
1 Peter 5:10, NLT: “In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus.
So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you
on a firm foundation.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 5:10 When we are suffering, we often feel as though our pain will never end.
Peter gave these faithful Christians a broader perspective. In comparison with eternity, their suffering
would last only “a little while.” Some of Peter’s readers would be strengthened and delivered in their
own lifetimes. Others would be released from their suffering through death. All of God’s faithful followers
are assured of an eternal life with Christ, where there will be no suffering (Revelation 21:4).
10. DEATH
What happens when we die? We wake up every morning, not knowing whether this day will be our last.
Each day can bring bad news, but even the possibility of death is no reason to be afraid. Jesus Christ
said so himself!
John 5:24, NLT: “[Jesus said,] ‘I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God
who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed
from death into life.’”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 5:24 Eternal life—Living forever with God—begins the moment you accept
Jesus Christ as Savior. New life begins in you (2 Corinthians 5:17). God completes the transaction. The
rest of your life on earth will go better for you, even though you may face many hardships, because you
are living in fellowship with the almighty Creator, who loves you. And though you will still face physical
death one day, when Jesus returns again, your body will be resurrected to live forever (1 Corinthians 15).
John 11:25-26, NLT: “Jesus told her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will
live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die.’”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 11:25-26 Jesus has power over life and death as well as the power to
forgive sins. Because he created life (see 14:6), he can surely restore life. Whoever believes in Jesus has
a spiritual life that death cannot conquer or diminish in any way. When we realize the power and the
wonder of his offer to us, how can we not commit our lives to him? To those who believe, what wonderful
assurance and certainty we have: “Since I live, you also will live” (14:19).
John 14:1-3, NLT: “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than
enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place
for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.”
LIFE APPLICATION NOTE: 14:1-3 The disciples were obviously worried about death and what happens
afterward. Jesus’ words still comfort us today. We know from what Jesus said that the way to eternal
life, though unseen, is secure for us if we trust him with the future. He has already prepared the way to
eternal life. The only issue that may still be unsettled is our willingness to believe him.
