Seize the Moment – Day 309
Jesus is Faithful to His Promises!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Wednesday, January 20.
Are you concerned that people will not keep their promises? This is a big concern in our culture today for many people.
Hebrews 8:6 teaches us about Jesus’s covenant faithfulness: “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.”
God is faithful to His covenant; to His Name! That is why He is faithful to you; not because you deserve it, but because of His Name, His Glory, His reputation!
Never forget that the promises of God are not dependent on your faithfulness, but on Jesus’ faithfulness alone.
In Christ alone! By faith so that no man should boast.
When I think back to all of God’s covenants, I come across this one truth: not a single one of those people was perfect, but God is!
Adam and Eve were not perfect… Noah, Abraham and Sarah, Israel and his twelve sons, King David… Not a single perfect person in that group of people, only a perfect God!
Only Jesus Christ is perfect and only Jesus mediates all of God’s promises for imperfect people, like you and me!
Seize the moment and thank God for His grace available to imperfect people through faith in Jesus Christ! No human being alive can fully keep his or her promises, but God can!
In God we trust! As a people, let’s be honest about that and stop putting all of our hopes or fears in imperfect people!
I hope to see you tonight at our new new mid-week “Prayer Awakening” service that starts online and in-person at 6:15.
