Sunday Message: God Has Promised!​

​

 

2 Corinthians 1:20-22 (KJV)

20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

​

2 Corinthians 1:20-22 The Message (MSG)

20-22 Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God’s Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us. By his Spirit he has stamped us with his eternal pledge—a sure beginning of what he is destined to complete.

​

What is a promise?

• a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing will happen.

What is a promise?

• assure someone that one will definitely do, give, or arrange something; undertake or declare that something will happen.

What is a promise?

• give good grounds for expecting (a particular occurrence or situation).

 

When you think of a promise, you consider such words as: assurance, pledge, vow, guarantee, oath, bond, undertaking, agreement, commitment, contract, covenant.

​

Christian believers, in scripture there are many promises of God. In each promise, our God pledges that something will (or will not) be done or given or come to pass. 

​

These are not casual or frivolous promises that we tend to make, but promises which are rock-solid and explicit commitments made by God Himself. 

​

Because our God is faithful, we can have full assurance that what God has pledged will indeed be realized.

​

In other words, what God has said He will do, (a HALLELUJAH goes here), HE WILL DO!!!

​

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes and in Him Amen! 

​

God will not only honor his promises, which are invariably true but He will sum them up with a heavenly Amen. 

​

God's word is the last word. 

​

As Christian Believers, we must realize a sentiment that is worthy of being kept in remembrance, and is one of the main articles of our faith — that it is only in Christ that God the Father is favorable to us. 

​

All the promises of God rest upon Christ alone!

​

God is the Amen; but so also is Christ! 

​

In this passage of scripture, Paul teaches that we are not qualified for enjoying the promises of God, unless we have received the remission of our sins which we obtain through Christ. 

​

All the promises which God has made to his people, are made in Christ, and ratified by him. 

​

Christ acts the part and office of a surety -Jesus undertakes and engages for God- that all which He hath promised shall be made good to us.

The promises made by God and ratified and confirmed in Christ, do all tend to the glory of God. 

​

God’s promises show the sovereignty of His grace, in making promises to us who deserved nothing but flaming vengeance and implacable fury. Thank God for mercy!

​

God’s promises show the fullness His grace; for if grace did not flow abundantly from the heart of God towards us, we could never have received so large a stock of promises from Him. 

​

God promised to bless Abraham and, through his descendants, the whole world.

​

​

When we think of Jesus and all He has done for us we should shout HALLELUJAH too! Why?
 

Jesus promised rest. Burdens are lifted at Calvary.

 

Jesus promised abundant life to those who follow Him. 

 

Jesus promised eternal life to those who trust Him. 

​

Jesus promised that He will return for us and from then on, we will be with Him always.
 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:16-17 KJV)
