Promises of God, Part 2

Our hope in a victorious relationship with God is based on the promises of God.  Last night during Discipleship class we discussed that as individuals we face spiritual enemies who seek to hinder and defeat our walk with Christ.  We combat those enemies through our reliance upon the promises of God that are found written in His Holy Word, the Bible.  The Word of God allows us to walk in courage and confidence that the faithfulness of God will guide and direct our steps through the various challenges of life.

All through the Bible, God gives us great and wonderful promises about who we are in Christ, what we have in Christ, and where we are in Christ.  Let me remind you of just a few.
  
  I can do everything through him who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:13)
  
  Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. (Proverbs 16:3)
  
  God…has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3).
  
  For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:5)

These and many other promises of God remind each of us that we are not ALONE in this journey and that we can depend on God to fulfill His promises to each and everyone of us.  Walk in the knowledge that God is with you and that you do not face any situation without Him being present to assist you.
