Heaven has been opened for all mankind by the Suffering Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. His suffering cannot be fully articulated by human tongue and that suffering ended on the cross when He cried, "It is finished".
Christ is the pearl of great price. Rev 21:21 "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass." A pearl is formed by suffering,(" Natural Pearls form when an irritant - usually a parasite and not the proverbial grain of sand - works its way into an oyster, mussel, or clam. As a defense mechanism, a fluid is used to coat the irritant. Layer upon layer of this coating, called 'nacre', is deposited until a lustrous pearl is formed." )copied from pearls .com
Heaven has been opened for all mankind by the Suffering Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. His suffering cannot be fully articulated by human tongue and that suffering ended on the cross when He cried, "It is finished". The bestowment of all of God's goodness to mankind is the unsearchable riches of Christ. Eph_3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Christ, The Son of God guarantees you a home in heaven. You have every right to rest in Christ as the One who is your Saviour. It is He who took your place on the cross, 1Pe 2:24 " Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." Believe on Him for Eternal Life! Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. John 6:47

In times of our trouble for someone to say, I know brings encouragement and comfort just to think someone understands our plight.

The word snare reminds me of a song, "Altar of Prayer" one line says, "if you are caught in sin's wicked snare". Saul laid traps for David but the Lord delivered him out of them all. These snares are unseen and may attack the body and mind. from the noisome pestilence = deadly plague, I thought of Covid 19. And there are many other deadly diseases.

Faith in the promise of God ( a resting faith in His power and faithfulness), God has settled the matter in Christ fully and completely I John 5:9-13, i.e V 10 "He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son." John 3:16, John 6:47 and many more verses.
