NKJ 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
‘IN HIM’ is a reference to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; So that we know all of God’s promises are fulfilled in Jesus. And Jesus backed up that promise and made another to return for us in:
John 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled, Trust in God; trust also in me.” 2 "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you 3 "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also 4 "And where I go you know, and the way you know." 5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?" 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” 7 " If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." 8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.”
In my walk with Christ I have found great consolation in knowing where I came from and where I am going; it creates a self assurance within me. That is one of the leading reasons I find the promises of God so important.
In addition, my personal experience with God has been wherever I encounter fear I find a promise. And the more of these promises I learn, I find that if I stand on faith in God’s Word an obey His Word; I grow spiritually in leaps and bounds, and it is easier to follow after Christ and obey the commandments.
I would like to wind this up with two quotes I love about the Word of God:
1. John Herrmann “Our hope is not to found in running from place to place or in smug resignation to the evils of life, but rather in belief and trust in the Word of God…Thank God for this lamp of truth that burns ever brightly telling us of Jesus of Nazareth, the promised Messiah sent by God to redeem us from slavery to sin, death, and hopelessness.”
2. Is from Haldor Lillenas based of Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
“The Word of God is like a light that shines serenely thro’ the night; its rays will light my weary way to the realms of a fair unending day.” “The word of God is strong and sure, forevermore it shall endure, when oceans cease to kiss the shore, when suns shall set to rise no more; ‘Mid crash of worlds it shall remain unshaken midst the starry rain, upon it firm foundation strong, I will plant my feet thro’ the ages long.“
That’s all for today I leave you with a blessing
That God grow your inner man in both grace and understanding in Jesus Name….
