Broken Promises? Not This Time

Has anyone ever broken a promise to you? More than likely, you answered yes. Promises are broken every day, but there is One, God, whose promises you can count on today and for eternity.

Beginning in Genesis, God promised to never destroy the earth again with a flood. God kept His Noahic Covenant, another word for promise.

God promised Abraham that He would make a great nation out of his descendants. The nation of Israel is the fulfillment of God’s covenant.

God made a covenant with King David that he would have a descendant on the throne forever. That covenant/promise is fulfilled in Jesus.

God promised a new covenant fulfilled by Jesus. “And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins,’” Matthew 26:27-28.

Yes, Jesus made a covenant, a promise, sealed with His blood that anyone who repents of sin and believes in Him for the forgiveness of their sins will be saved and given the Holy Spirit.

Other people may have broken their promises to you, but the Lord, the covenant maker, can be trusted today and for eternity.

Lord Jesus, COVENANT MAKER, thank You for the peace and eternal life You give us through Your blood sacrifice. We worship and praise You.
