There are more than 14,000 promises in the Bible – God has not broken one of them. For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through Him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.
The Bible is full of God’s promises to provide for us spiritually and materially. Because of the finished work of Christ, God promised to never forsake us, to promise us with prosperity and health, to give us shalom peace in times of difficult circumstances, to cause all circumstances to work together for our good even though they might look bad..., and finally to bring us safely home to glory. Not one of these promises is dependent upon our performance but Jesus’ performance. They are all dependent on the grace of God given to us through Jesus Christ. They are all unearned and unmerited favor from Father God.
Satan lures the world or even Christians with promises of the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honor, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss; he promises life, and pays with death. But Father God pays as He promises; all His payments are made in His Begotten Son at the Cross….
The Bible says there are more than 14,000 promises from God and not 14,000 VACANCIES!!!! So stop WORKING to deserve these promises but BELIEVE and RECEIVE what God has already promised...!!!
2 Corinthians 1:20 ~ For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.
So if we really want to glorify God, we better don't labour but BELIEVE in HIM with our spontaneous shout of Amen...!
