#Psalm 139; Romans 10:13; Matthew 22:37#
Matt emphasizes that God is a friend, real, loving, trustworthy, for everyone, and forever. He uses Psalm 139 as a foundation, highlighting God's intimate knowledge and creation of each individual. Matt stresses that God's love is unconditional, freeing believers from striving for approval. He contrasts worldly achievements with God's eternal promises. Matt uses personal anecdotes of hardship to illustrate trusting God in difficult times, and encourages listeners to rely on God's promises and not believe Satan's lies. He encourages his audience to share the gospel using their own gifts and to trust in Jesus and his sacrifice so they can live eternally with God.
