It is the unspeakable privilege of all believers to have, as a certain possession, the precious promises of God. We have them as manifest tokens of God’s favour towards us; and every one of them is yea and amen, in Christ Jesus our Lord. We have them as fruits of Christ’s purchase. The Lord having purchased us with His own blood we have these promises produced by that, inestimable grace. They are plain and ample declarations of the goodwill of God towards man, and are therefore as God’s part of the covenant of grace. They are a foundation of our faith, and we have them as such; and also of our hope.
On these we are to build all our expectations from God; and in all temptations and trials we have them to rest our souls upon. We have them as the directions and encouragements of our desires in prayer. Seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. They are the guide of our desires and the ground of our hope in prayer. Therefore, let us review some of these blessed promises of God. Check out the promises HERE
Scriptures teach consistently that faith comes through the proclamation of the gospel, not through good works. Christ himself was not arrested and arraigned because he was trying to restore family values or feed the poor...The mounting ire of the religious leaders toward Jesus coalesced around him making himself equal with God and forgiving sins in his own person, directly, over against the temple and its sacrificial system. Michael Horton
