Connect Jeremiah 46:27 with another Bible verse about God's deliverance. Foundational Promise – Jeremiah 46:27 “But you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed, O Israel, for behold, I will save you from far away, and your descendants from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return and be at ease; he will be secure, and no one will make him afraid.” Connected Promise – Isaiah 43:1–2 “Now this is what the LORD says—He who created you, O Jacob, and formed you, O Israel: ‘Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.’” Shared Themes of Divine Deliverance • Identity: God addresses His people as “Jacob” and “Israel,” affirming covenant relationship. • Command: “Do not be afraid.” Fear is displaced by God’s promise. • Action: “I will save / redeem you.” Deliverance is God’s work, not human effort. • Scope: From distant captivity (Jeremiah 46) to overwhelming waters and fire (Isaiah 43)—no circumstance lies outside His reach. • Result: Rest, security, and unbroken fellowship with the Lord. Living Out the Assurance • Recall the covenant name—belonging to God secures every promise. • Replace anxiety with confidence; the same God who rescued Israel rescues you. • Rest in His presence; deliverance is often a process (“when you pass through”), yet His nearness never fails. • Remember the goal: peace and safety in Him, free from the tyranny of fear. Additional Reinforcing Scriptures • Psalm 34:17 – “The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles.” • 2 Corinthians 1:10 – “He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us again.” • 2 Timothy 4:18 – “The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom.” |
