For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. (2 Corinthians 1:20)
As we all know by way of personal experience, a promise is only as good as the integrity of the one making the promise. We have all made promises and we have all broken promises. And we have all had promises made to us and we have all had promises broken to us too. But there is One who has never broken a promise He has made and He never will. Read on and be encouraged today.
God is the true Promise Keeper. As the Sovereign Creator and Sustainer of the universe and the Author and Perfector of our faith, we can count on every promise in the Word of God and we can take God at His Word. Because the Word of God is true and God does not change (Malachi 3:6), we can take to the believer’s bank every promise God has made knowing He will make good on it. As the psalmist wrote, “For 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 is on the way.
Remember, the greatest promise God ever made He has already fulfilled. 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 who receive Him as Lord and Savior, by grace through faith, eternal life is your 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 it!
This is the Gospel. This is grace for your race. NEVER FORGET THAT . . . AMEN!
Grace for the Race
