promises

Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, He confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged.

– Hebrews 6:17-18

When God made His promises to mankind, He did so by making an oath not to us, but to Himself.

Why?

Think about the ways that we are constantly unfaithful to Him.

Then think about the way He constantly loves us.

God knows that we would not be able to keep and agreement like this agreement, but He know that he can, and He will.

We couldn’t deliver ourselves, so He came as a man to deliver us.

God is the initiator and the guarantor of this agreement.

God has promised to be our God and hear our prayers through Jesus Christ.

This is not based upon you, but upon Jesus.

This is His promise.

Run to Him today. 

Have a blessed day!
