All Things Made New
The Power of New Promises
II Corinthians 1:18-22
That’s what the world wants to know about us: can they trust us? Because, if they can trust us, odds are they’ll trust God as well.
The Bible is a book of promises: According to one source “The New Testament has 750 promises, …”
He gave us those promises so that we would know He’s got our back.
The thing about promises though, they don’t happen “right now.” A promise is usually made about something that is in the distance.
So, Jeremiah (if you will) was looking forward to Friday, because God’s promises are always faithful.
Without Jesus you can’t have the Holy Spirit! Without Jesus you can’t have the guarantee of heaven.
God offered us His promises because He loves us.
