Promises, Promises, Promises!
Hebrews 6:13-20
The Certainty of God's Promise
"For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, 'Surely I will bless you and multiply you.' And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."
This is great!
We have 2 reasons to believe!
1. God promises
2. God gave an oath
We find it easy to believe in other peoples promises and oaths, but how much more should we trust in God's, "it is impossible for God to lie," He is faithful and will fulfill all that He has promised!
In this and through Jesus we have an anchor to the hope that is found only in Jesus Christ!
Everything that God has promised, He will fulfill! He will keep all of His promises!
In Christ,
David
