Promises of God (23)
  1. The hardest thing you and I will ever be called to do is to believe that it is done already, that it really and truly is finished.
  2. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  3. Our comfort in this seemingly endless age of crisis after crisis is the inexhaustible hope of Jesus’s reversal.
  4. In the face of abject evil, these two faithfully cling to the words and truths of he alone who is Good, Jehovah God.
  5. This world of unbearable grief and accidental calamity is being renewed and, soon, will be completely bereft of every pernicious foe.
  6. A seed grows the kingdom of God. A whisper eventually turns the world upside down. A carpenter’s son from nowhere becomes the Savior of everyone. Such is God’s way.
  7. Calvary is our mountain of pardon. It is the place which reveals most definitively God’s plan to redeem and reconcile sinners to himself.
  8. Through the often abominable and lamentable and occasional commendable season, there is one who remains unmoved by it all.
  9. You and I have a God who pardons all our wrongdoing by taking all of them onto himself. He doesn’t zap us into oblivion at the first sign of rebellion.
  10. God’s plans and purposes for this world aren’t dependent upon us. They’re dependent upon him. This means our faith is liberated.
  11. Ever since the tragedy of the Garden, God’s plan of redemption has been in motion. His movement upon this world has never ceased, and it never will.
