In verse 12 God is given two titles, what are they?

This gives us even more motivation to follow God, not the world.  Hebrews 9:27 says ‘It is appointed to man to die once and then face judgement’ & God will be the ________.

But we do not need be afraid of the judgement because verse 6 says he has given us __________.  Grace means forgiveness (among other things).

you’re facing a test of your faith.

Read through Jeremiah 29:11-13.
What plans do you think God could have for you in the future? Have you talked with him about it (prayed)? If we ever don’t know where we are going in life or lose our way God promises in verse 13 that if we seek him with all our heart he will be found by us.
