The promises of God Assistance from Kevin Cauley’s The Blessed Promises of God and God is Faithful to Fulfill His promises: a sermon preached at Meadowview Church of Christ

Introduction I want to take some time this morning to consider promises, and more specifically, the promises of God When considering promises, have you ever stopped to consider that there are actually some promises that people don’t want kept Illus 4th grade boy Then there are others who like to choose what promises they like the best Illus falling asleep during sermons Today I want us to be reminded of the fact that “God is Faithful to Fulfill His Promises”

Examples of God’s precious and magnificent promises I will be with you To Joshua, “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. (Josh 1:5) Through Jesus in the great commission, “…I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Mt 28:20b) Paul writes, “At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them. But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me…” (2 Tim 4:16-17a)

Examples of God’s precious and magnificent promises I will strengthen you Is 40:31 “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Is 41:10 “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’” 2 Thes 3:3 “But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.”

Examples of God’s precious and magnificent promises You may know that you have eternal life 1 Jn 5:13 “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.” 1 Jn 2:25 “This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.” I will build my victorious Church Mt 16:18b “…I will build My church and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.”

Examples of God’s precious and magnificent promises I will come again Jn 14:1-3 “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.” Acts 1:9-11 “Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.  And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

God’s promises are sure (faithful, enduring, everlasting, without end, incapable of not being fulfilled) God cannot lie Num 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will not make it good?” 1 Kings 8:56 “Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses.”

God’s promises are sure (faithful, enduring, everlasting, without end, incapable of not being fulfilled) God cannot lie Tit 1:2 “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;” Heb 6:13-18 “For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.  For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.  Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

God’s promises are sure (faithful, enduring, everlasting, without end, incapable of not being fulfilled) God cannot fail Josh 21:45 “Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.” Josh 23:14 “Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.”

God’s promises are sure (faithful, enduring, everlasting, without end, incapable of not being fulfilled) God is faithful 1 Cor 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Cor 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” Heb 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful”

God’s promises are sure (faithful, enduring, everlasting, without end, incapable of not being fulfilled) God has always kept His promises to men Noah: Gen 6:17-18 Abraham: Gen17:19; Rom 4:20-21 God kept His promise to His Son, Jesus Ps 16:10 “For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption” This promise was fulfilled in the resurrection of Christ: Acts 2:31-32 Because God kept His promise to Jesus, we can be assured He will keep His promise to us as well: Rom 6:5

God’s promises are full of hope for the righteous Our hope rests upon the promises of God Heb 6:18-19 Our hope is based on our faith in God: Heb 11:1 Faith comes by hearing the word of God Rom 10:17 Hope comes through hearing God’s word and the promises that are therein

God’s promises are full of hope for the righteous God has promised great things to give hope to the faithful Freedom from sin: Jn 8:32 Forgiveness of sins: Acts 2:38 The faithful are His children: Rom 8:15-17 He takes care of the faithful: Mt 6:33 Abundant life through His Son Jesus: Jn 10:10 We shall be like Him and see Him as He is: 1 Jn3:2 He promises eternal life: 1 Jn 2:25

God’s promises are conditional upon our obedience They have always been conditional Noah had to build the ark Moses had to appear before pharaoh God reiterates these conditions to the children of Israel again and again Ex 15:26; Lev 26:3-4; Deut. 30:10

God’s promises are conditional upon our obedience They are conditional for us today Jn 8:31-32 Jn 15:10 Rom 11:22 Col 1:21-23 Heb 3:14 If we fail to meet God’s conditions, another set of promises awaits 2 Thess 1:6-9 Rom 2:6-9 Heb 2:2-3

Conclusion The promises of God are sure, full of hope, and conditional upon our obedience If you are a Christian but have fallen away How have you regarded the promises of God Do not neglect them for they will be fulfilled If you are not a Christian this morning God has two sets of promises for you Which set of promises will be fulfilled for your life? God’s promises of salvation are conditional and here are those conditions Hear the word (Rom 10:17) Believe (Heb 11:6) Repent (Acts 17:30) Confess Jesus as Son of God (Mt 16:16) Be baptized (Mk 16:15-16)
