Promises Unchanged

I have witnessed and been involved in situations where a promise is made one day and a few days later, the parameters changed, stipulations added, or the promise was outright revoked.

“¹⁶Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his off-spring. It does not say, ‘And to offsprings,’ referring to many, but referring to one, ‘And to your offspring,” who is Christ. ¹⁷This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.” – Galatians 3:16-17 (ESV)

When God makes a promise, I can hang my hat on the binding of that promise. And God has made some really great promises.

The Old Covenant

The New Covenant

The Holy Spirit

To Come Again

Notice the promises above. The first three (3) have been fulfilled. God keeps his promises true.

When we are in Christ, we are provided the opportunity to be a part of the promises of God.

“²²But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.” – Galatians 3:22 (ESV)

As believers, we have been made aware of the promises that God has made and kept. Shouldn’t we hold true to the fact that God keeps his promises and those promises remain unchanged, amended, stipulated, or revoked?

Are we able to hang our hat on the promises of God? Are we able to believe the promises will be kept? Are we proceeding as though the promises of God will be unchanged?
