God made thousands of promises to His children in the Bible. He promises to love me, give me strength, redeem me, save me. He promises to give me peace, victory, abundance, wholeness, healing and mercy. The list is endless because God is without bounds. He will give me all that He has promised, my job is to stand in that truth.
It is through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross that I have claim to God’s promises. As God gives privilege to His perfect, blameless son, He also gives to me. As Jesus is, so am I on earth. I have been reconciled to my heavenly Father and He provides for me, His child.
I can hear the dissent of the confused and forsaken. But why then…but how could…?
When Jesus saw His friends distraught over the death of Lazarus, He wept. He too was deeply touched by the pain of this world. But Jesus brought life to Lazarus and healing to his loved ones and though they saw death and pain here on this earth, they found salvation and restoration in Him. This is God’s promise. I will find salvation and restoration in Him.
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 Corinthians 1:20-22
