God?s Promises
by lareina morgan

Exodus chapter 6 2-5, 8



 And God continued. ‘I am the *LORD.  I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as El Shaddai, the All-Powerful God. But with them, I did not use my name, the *LORD. I made my special promise to them. They used to live as foreigners in the country called *Canaan. But I promised to give that country to them. And now, I have heard the *Israelites’ cries because of their troubles. I know that the *Egyptians are keeping them as slaves. And I have remembered my special promise.

 

I made a serious promise to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I promised to give to them the country called *Canaan. So now, I will bring you to that country, and it will belong to you. I am the *LORD.”




God never made any promises that He could not keep. We are the ones who have trouble living up to His standards. We are not able to do everything perfect, but the Lord is not seeking perfection from us, He is seeking people who will believe in Him. When we believe in Jesus Christ, we have made a new covenant that the Lord will never break with us. If any of you are having problems trusting in His word, it is not because God is unworthy or unreliable. We need to examine our own hearts, and then we will see that we are the ones who have strayed from our covenant with Him.



God’s promise to the Hebrews was two fold: He would deliver them from the Egyptians, and then He would lead them to the promised land. They would need to believe God’s word and obey Him. He delivered them from the Egyptians and led them to the promised land, but sadly, most of His people never went into the promised land because of their rebellious spirit and unbelief. 




God has great promises for all of us. He promises that He will never leave us nor forsake us, He promises to take care of all of our needs, and He has promised us a great inheritance in the Kingdom of God, but we must be willing to accept His gift of salvation and follow in the steps of Jesus Christ.

 

 

 

God cannot use anyone who is unwilling to believe in His word. His promises are only for those who are willing to live for Him and not for themselves. The way to eternal life is the gift of love and salvation through Jesus Christ.

 



When you live for yourself, there will always be fear, uncertainty and doubt in your heart, but when you ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart, loving Him will become more important than anything that the world has to offer. Jesus promises that you will never regret surrendering your life to Him…



If you are ready to come to the One who can save you, Jesus Christ, repeat this prayer of salvation:

 

Lord Jesus, I repent of all of my sins and surrender my life to you; wash me clean. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that he died on the cross for my sins and rose again on the third day for my Victory. I believe that in my heart and make confession with my mouth, that Jesus is my Savior and Lord. I receive eternal life, in Jesus name, Amen.
