We are used to human promises where the promise might or might not be done. That is not true of God’s promises. God's promises have everything to do with His character. We can take God at His word.
The best promise is God’s promise of eternal life. John 3:16. In light of His promise of eternal life we have something to live for. Romans 6:3.
There is also a promise of eternal death if you reject Christ. Matthew 25:31-33. First, we believe that eternity exists. Then it follows that we have a hope greater than today! And we live our lives differently.
The Point: The God promise of eternal life gives us something greater to live for.
We know that without the peace of God’s promises, fear is crouching at the door. Genesis 4:6-7.
200,000 Christians die for their faith every year. Little children refuse to deny Christ. What gives them this strength? The promises of God.
People may say "Tomorrow we'll go here or there" but how do you know what God has planned? James 4:13-16.
The God promise should change our life priorities. Are we being stewards of our lives for God's glory? Are we preparing ourselves and those around us for eternity? 1 Corinthians 15:51-57. Are we sharing God’s promise with others? Can we sit by idly while the world dies?
Keep God’s promise in the forefront of your life!
God has warned of judgment and punishment. He doesn't want any to suffer. Will you stand firm and be immovable in His promises? 1 Corinthians 15:58.
I was led to this song for today.
It is awesome to see such a family of young people singing God’s promises!
Verses for Today:Romans 6:3-5 (NIV)
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
Lord, I am so thankful for Your Promises!
