1 Corinthians 2:18-22 (NKJV, et all), "But as God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee."
Is it not wonderful that we serve a God of whom His promises are always kept? God is an awesome God and makes equally awesome promises to us in His scripture. Struggling with sin? "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness," (1John 1:9), and , "Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." (James 5:16). James gives us a promise about sin and encourages us that our prayers do indeed matter. The number my pastor gave was 8,000 promises in the Bible. 8,000! and every single one is absolutely true. This is the God we serve. Let us not live as defeat soldiers, but let us live our life everyday in the knowledge of the awesome faithfulness of God!
