Encouragement is seen as a vital aspect of Christian fellowship and personal faith, serving as a means to uplift, strengthen, and motivate individuals in their walk with God. Old Testament Context The Old Testament provides numerous examples of encouragement, often through God's direct intervention or through His appointed leaders. In <a href="/deuteronomy/31-6.htm">Deuteronomy 31:6</a>, Moses encourages the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land: "Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you." This assurance of God's presence serves as a foundational source of encouragement for the people of Israel. The Psalms also frequently express themes of encouragement, as the psalmists often turn to God for strength and reassurance. <a href="/psalms/31-24.htm">Psalm 31:24</a> states, "Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD." Here, the psalmist calls upon the faithful to find courage and strength in their hope and trust in God. New Testament Context In the New Testament, encouragement is a key element of the early Christian community. The Apostle Paul, in particular, emphasizes the importance of encouraging one another. In <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-11.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:11</a> , Paul writes, "Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing." This exhortation highlights the communal responsibility of believers to support and uplift each other in faith. Paul's letters often include personal examples of encouragement. In <a href="/philippians/1-6.htm">Philippians 1:6</a> , he expresses confidence in God's work in the lives of the believers: "Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will continue to perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." This assurance serves to encourage the Philippians in their spiritual journey. Role of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is also depicted as a source of encouragement for believers. In <a href="/john/14-16.htm">John 14:16</a> , Jesus promises the coming of the Holy Spirit, referred to as the "Helper" or "Comforter": "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever." The Holy Spirit provides comfort, guidance, and encouragement, empowering believers to live out their faith. Encouragement in Christian Practice Encouragement is not only a biblical principle but also a practical aspect of Christian living. Believers are called to encourage one another through words, actions, and prayers. <a href="/hebrews/10-24.htm">Hebrews 10:24-25</a> urges Christians to "consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds. Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching." In summary, encouragement in the Bible is a multifaceted concept that encompasses divine assurance, communal support, and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. It is an essential practice for fostering spiritual growth and unity within the body of Christ.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Encourage.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2115a.htm">2115a. euthumos -- of good cheer</a> ... of good cheer.
