GOD'S PROMISES
PROMISES OF GOD
GODS’
PROMISES:
The
world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains
forever.
1.The world and its passions
will disappear but those who do My will shall live forever.
2. Hebrews 10:10 - by which will we have been
sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
3.
I made you holy by the once for all sacrifice of My Son, Jesus Christ.
(Psalm
46:10)
4.
HE says, “Be still, and know that I am GOD;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
What
can be said about God’s promises to us?
(1).
He has promised to supply every need we have.
The
Bible says: “But My God shall supply all
your need according to HIS riches in Glory by Christ Jesus”. That’s Phillipians 4:19.
Now
notice, GOD has obligated Himself only to the extent of our needs. That would
include food, clothing, shelter, companionship, love, and salvation thru Jesus
Christ.
It
would not include the multiplicity of luxuries that we have come to think of as
needs.
(2).
God has promised that His grace is sufficient for us. (II Corinthians 12:9).
In
fact, He has made provision for our salvation by His grace through faith. Read Ephesians 2:8. It is through an obedient faith that we have
access into the grace of God according to Romans 5:2.
(3).
God has promised that His children will not be overtaken with temptation.
Instead, He assures us that a way of escape will be provided. This promise is
recorded in I Corinthians 10:13.
Jude
wrote:
“Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present your
faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy” (Jude v 24). Darius, King of the Medes, said
to Daniel, “Thy God whom thou servest continually, HE will deliver thee” (Daniel 6:16). HE did deliver Daniel from the
den of lions.
(4).
GOD has promised us victory over death. He first resurrected Jesus by way of
assuring our resurrection. Peter said: “This Jesus hath God raised up,
whereof we are all witnesses” (Acts 2:32).
Paul wrote to the Corinthians: “For I delivered unto you
first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he rose again the
third day according to the scriptures” (I Corinthians 15:3,4). Later on he adds: “but thanks be to God, which
giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Corinthians 15:57).
(5).
God has promised that all things work together for good to those who love and
serve Him faithfully (Romans 8:28).
It
may be difficult for us to see and understand how this is accomplished at
times, but God has promised it, and He will deliver.
(6).
GOD has promised that those who believe
in Jesus and are baptized for the forgiveness of sins will be saved. (Read Mark 16:16 and Acts
2:38).
(7).
God
has promised His people eternal life (John 10:27,28). In closing, let me appeal to
you to live so that the promises of God will be yours.
10 Scriptures About God’s
Promises:
[1]… (2 Peter 1:4). And
because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious
promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and
escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
[2]… Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the plans I have for
you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you
a future and a hope.
[3]… Matthew 11:28-29. “Come to me, all you who are weary and
burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
[4]… Isaiah 40:29-31. He gives power to the weak and
strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young
men will fall in exhaustion.
But
those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on
wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not
faint.
[5]… Philippians 4:19. And this same God who takes
care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been
given to us in Christ Jesus.
[6]… Romans 8:37-39. No, despite all these things,
overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
And
I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death
nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our
worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s
love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all
creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[7]… Proverbs 1:33. But all who listen to me will live in peace,
untroubled
by fear of harm.”
[8]… John 14:27. “I am leaving you with a
gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot
give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
[9]… Romans 10:9. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is
Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved.
[10]… Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life
through Christ Jesus our Lord.
The
promises of God are powerful and awesome to grasp. I pray that these
scriptures about God’s promises were helpful to you today.
