The Promise Keeper

No matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. (2 Corinthians 1:20)

We all know from personal experience that a promise is only as good as the integrity of the one who makes it. We have all made promises, and we have all broken promises. We have all had promises made to us, and we have all seen promises made to us broken. But there is One who has never broken a promise He has made — not one –and He never will. Read on and be encouraged today!

God is the true Promise Keeper. He is the Sovereign Creator and Sustainer of the universe, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, and we can count on every promise in the Word of God. We can take God at His Word. Because the Word of God is true (Proverbs 30:5) and God does not change (Malachi 3:6), we can take every promise God has made straight to the believer’s bank, knowing He will make good on all of them. As the psalmist exulted, “He spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast” (Psalm 33:9). When you are praying out of the knowledge of His promises in Scripture, you can pray with the confident assurance and expectation that your answer of blessing is on the way.

Remember, God has already fulfilled the greatest promise He ever made. He promised to send a Savior, and 2,000 years ago He did just that. Jesus lived a sinless life, died a sacrificial death, and rose supernaturally from the grave. To all those who, by grace through faith, receive Him as Lord and Savior, eternal life is the promised reward. And if God kept the greatest promise He ever made, He will surely keep the second greatest promise He ever made: sending Jesus back to consummate His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

Our God is trustworthy. Our God is faithful. Our God is a Promise Maker and the Promise Keeper. No matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” and “Amen” in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You have His Word on that!

This is the Gospel. This is grace for your race. NEVER FORGET THAT . . . AMEN!
