We find numerous promises that God made in the Bible, but do you know the ultimate promise that He made? The promise that upholds your life and mine, and others’ lives as well?
Look with me at what God committed to, what we still benefit from today!
Genesis 12:3: “‘…In you [Abraham] all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’”
Why is this promise so precious to you and me and for every human being?
Because Jesus was Abraham’s descendant, and through Jesus, all the families of the earth, including you and me, are blessed! (see the Bible, Matthew 1:1-17)
Jesus is the answer. In Him resides the ultimate fulfillment of this promise…and thus the ultimate blessing!
Acts 4:12: “‘Nor is there salvation in any other [but Jesus], for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.’”
Jesus is the ultimate promise because our eternal salvation rests in Him. One day, we will pass on to the other side, and the only promise that will still carry us, the only promise that bridges our life here with our eternity there, is this promise! The promise of salvation found in Jesus Christ.
All the other promises reside in Jesus as well! Without this ultimate promise, they couldn’t exist. Jesus is your ultimate promise and your ultimate strength and support every day of your life!
A Miracle Every Day
