The God Who Provides

by Henry M. Morris, Ph.D. | Feb. 25, 2026

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” (Romans 15:13)

God provides for more than believers’ physical needs. This is indicated by seven titles given Him in the New Testament.

The God of love. We need love, and “God is love” (1 John 4:8). Then “the fruit of the Spirit is love” in our lives (Galatians 5:22) because He Himself is “the God of love and peace” (2 Corinthians 13:11).

The God of all grace. God saves us by His grace, and then we need to “grow in grace” (2 Peter 3:18). We can do this because “the God of all grace . . . hath called us unto his eternal glory” (1 Peter 5:10).

The God of peace. He satisfies the believer’s need for peace of soul, and He is called “the God of peace” five times in the New Testament (Romans 15:33; 16:20; Philippians 4:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:20).

The God of all comfort. Our God is called “the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort” because He “comforteth us in all our tribulation,” enabling us to provide comfort to others “by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God” (2 Corinthians 1:3–4).

The God of patience. We do “have need of patience” (Hebrews 10:36), which is also supplied by “the God of patience and consolation” (Romans 15:5).

The God of glory. It was “the God of glory” who first called Abraham (Acts 7:2), and through the Word we also “are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18).

The God of hope. By His Spirit He fills us with joy, peace, power, and abundant hope—blessing us “with all spiritual blessings . . . in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3). HMM
