God's Yes

"For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. (Jesus)." (2 Cor. 1:20)

Every promise in the scripture is given to Christians. Jesus Christ paid in full the price of the fulfillment of God's promises to you when He purchased your salvation on the cross. The scripture says that we are co-heirs with Christ. That means that God as given to us everything that He has given to Jesus as an inheritance. It is ours right now.

God has promised to hear every prayer you utter in the name of Jesus. God has promised peace in the midst of the turmoil of life when you cast your cares on Him. God has promised grace for every occasion if you will trust Him. God has promised courage in times that might normally produce fear. He has promised to lead you through the valleys. There are literally hundreds of promises in the Bible that are yours.

If you are a genuine follower of Jesus, the promises are made to you. If you are not a follower yet, God has promised you that if you call on Him, He will save you. (Romans 10:13). What is faith? It is taking God at His word and acting on it. Trust Him today to fulfill His promises in your life.

Do you know the promises of God? How can anyone pray without diving deeply into God's word to find what He has promised? When God says "Yes" it is but our responsibility to trust completely in what He has said. And the scripture we have today says that all, not some, but all of God's promises have their "Yes" in Jesus Christ.
