Living in the promises of God is an act of pure faith. It is having the ability to look beyond the evils of this world, to the glory to come, and then to do whatever can be done to help bring the kingdom glory to our present time. None of us can eliminate all evil, corrupt, cruel, and insensitive things that are continually occurring in the world around us, but we can stop some of it, and be a witness against all such things.There are many Bible verses that can point us in this direction. One is Matthew 6:9-13.
This prayer that Jesus prayed is our example of allowing God’s perfect plan to be accomplished in this world and in your lives. If we are praying for this, then shouldn't we also believe it is possible, and indeed can and should come to pass in both the here and now as well as in the future? I'm convinced we should believe this is possible. It's an act of simple faith. But faith is an active word. Faith requires us to live by our belief.
This passage of scripture states that God will be our Sustainer and Provider(Matthew 6:11). All our need will be met for who else knows what we are in need of daily. God has promised that His grace is sufficient for us. (II Corinthians 12:9). in fact, He has made provision for our salvation by His grace through faith. Read Ephesians 2:8. It is through an obedient faith that we have access into the grace of God according to Romans 5:2.
God has promised that His children will not be overtaken with temptation. Instead, He assures us that a way of escape will be provided. This promise is recorded in I Corinthians 10:13. Jude wrote: "Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present your faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy" (Jude v 24). Darius, King of the Medes, said to Daniel, "Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee" (Daniel 6:16). He did deliver Daniel from the den of lions.
God has promised us victory over death. He first resurrected Jesus by way of assuring our resurrection. Peter said: "This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we are all witnesses" (Acts 2:32). Paul wrote to the Corinthians: "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures" (I Corinthians 15:3,4).
Later on he adds: "but thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (I Corinthians 15:57). God has promised that all things work together for good to those who love and serve Him faithfully (Romans 8:28). It may be difficult for us to see and understand how this is accomplished at times, but God has promised it, and He will deliver.
God has promised that those who believe in Jesus and are baptized for the forgiveness of sins will be saved. (Read Mark 16:16 and Acts 2:38). God has promised His people eternal life (John 10:27,28). Everyday live so that the promises of God will be yours. Be Blessed,The Worship Center
