Promises

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1v4 (KJV)

“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 Peter 1v4 (NLT)

Our God is a great God, and we thank Him for the great and precious promises we have been given. The Word of God is full of great and precious promises of our loving Father to us. 2 Corinthians 1v20 (NLT) says “For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for His glory.” Some promises He has given us include Jesus telling us in John 14v15-18 (AMP) “If you [really] love Me, you will keep  (obey) My commands. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever – The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless]; I will come [back] to you.” Amen. And we know that as believers we have the Spirit of God in us and with us. Another promise is seen in Romans 10v11-13 (AMP) say “The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed. [No one] for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord over all [of us] and He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [in faith]. For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved].” Hallelujah. What great and precious promises. The Bible is rife with them.
