What is the Greatest Promise of All Time?


God’s Promise of New Life in His Son Jesus Christ!


Of all the promises God has ever made—land, protection, prosperity, or deliverance—none surpasses His promise of brand-new life through His Son, Jesus Christ. Every other promise is temporary. This one is eternal. It answers the deepest human need: To be made right with God, freed from sin’s power, and given a life that never ends!


The Living Bible puts the heart of this promise in clear language: “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16 TLB).


That is not a vague hope. It is a concrete offer. The same chapter explains how this new life begins: “You must be born again” (John 3:7 TLB). Just as physical birth brings a person into the world, spiritual birth brings a person into God’s family.


The old life of separation from God ends; a new life of relationship with Him begins!


Scripture describes this transformation in powerful terms. “When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5:17 TLB).


The old patterns of guilt, fear, and slavery to sin are broken. Romans 6:4 TLB says we are buried with Christ in baptism and raised to “live new lives.”


This is not self-improvement. It is Resurrection Life—Christ living in the believer through the Holy Spirit.


Jesus Himself said, “I came to give life—life in all its fullness” (John 10:10 TLB). That fullness includes peace with God now and the certainty of heaven forever!


How does a person receive this promise? Not by good works, religious effort, or moral improvement. “God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done” (Ephesians 2:8-9 TLB).


The only requirement is simple, childlike faith—turning from self and trusting wholly in Jesus’ finished work on the cross and His resurrection. When a person does that, God keeps His word. He forgives completely, adopts the believer as His own child, and begins the lifelong work of making that person more like Christ!


This is the greatest promise because it solves the greatest problem—sin and death—and gives the greatest gift:


Life that begins the moment a person believes and lasts forever!


Every other promise God makes to His people rests on this one.


Those who have received new life in Jesus already possess the promise; Those who have not are invited to claim it today.


God has never broken a promise.


He will not break this one!

CONTINUE:

Let us Praise Him Daily!

A good way to learn to Praise God is to memorize the first 6 Verses of Psalms 148:

1 Praise the Lord, O heavens! Praise Him from the skies!

2 Praise Him, all His angels, all the armies of heaven.

3 Praise Him, sun and moon and all you twinkling stars.

4 Praise Him, skies above. Praise Him, vapors high above the clouds.

5 Let everything He has made give praise to Him. For He issued His command, and they came into being;

6 He established them forever and forever. His orders will never be revoked.



 

PLEASE read the last 6 Chapters of Psalms: 145-150 so that you will learn how to Praise God like David did!

JESUS IS:

THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH,

THE LEADER,

THE ORIGINATOR,

THE LORD & MASTER,

THE SUPREME LEADER,

OUR HOPE,

1ST BORN FROM THE DEAD WITH AN IMMORTAL BODY TO NEVER DIE AGAIN,

THE 1ST FRUITS OF THE RESURRECTION,

HE IS OUR FESTIVAL OF HOPE,

OUR PARDON,

GIVEN 1ST PLACE IN EVERYTHING,

HAS BEEN EXALTED AS SUPREME OVER EVERYTHING,

IS ENOUGH,

THE FULLNESS OF GOD DWELLS IN US THROUGH JESUS,

JESUS HAS BROUGHT US INTO HARMONY WITH GOD,

HE HAS BROKERED A PEACE TREATY BETWEEN GOD & MAN,

YOU WERE BORN ON THE WRONG SIDE, BUT BY ACCEPTING JESUS

YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE NOW,

YOU ARE BEYOND REPROACH,

JESUS WAS THE SOLUTION BEFORE YOU HAD A SIN PROBLEM,

NEVER GET OVER WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR YOU!

NOW:

THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH:

TO TEACH US TO LEAD OTHERS TO CHRIST!

Chapter 31 in Proverbs for today: (OCTOBER 31 (MT) (ESV)

  1. 31 The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him:

    2 What are you doing, my son?[a] What are you doing, son of my womb?
        What are you doing, son of my vows?
    3 Do not give your strength to women,
        your ways to those who destroy kings.
    4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
        it is not for kings to drink wine,
        or for rulers to take strong drink,
    5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed
        and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.
    6 Give strong drink to the one who is perishing,
        and wine to those in bitter distress;[b]
    7 let them drink and forget their poverty
        and remember their misery no more.
    8 Open your mouth for the mute,
        for the rights of all who are destitute.[c]
    9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
        defend the rights of the poor and needy.

    The Woman Who Fears the Lord

    10 [d] An excellent wife who can find?
        She is far more precious than jewels.
    11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
        and he will have no lack of gain.
    12 She does him good, and not harm,
        all the days of her life.
    13 She seeks wool and flax,
        and works with willing hands.
    14 She is like the ships of the merchant;
        she brings her food from afar.
    15 She rises while it is yet night
        and provides food for her household
        and portions for her maidens.
    16 She considers a field and buys it;
        with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
    17 She dresses herself[e] with strength
        and makes her arms strong.
    18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
        Her lamp does not go out at night.
    19 She puts her hands to the distaff,
        and her hands hold the spindle.
    20 She opens her hand to the poor
        and reaches out her hands to the needy.
    21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
        for all her household are clothed in scarlet.[f]
    22 She makes bed coverings for herself;
        her clothing is fine linen and purple.
    23 Her husband is known in the gates
        when he sits among the elders of the land.
    24 She makes linen garments and sells them;
        she delivers sashes to the merchant.
    25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,
        and she laughs at the time to come.
    26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
        and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
    27 She looks well to the ways of her household
        and does not eat the bread of idleness.
    28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
        her husband also, and he praises her:
    29 “Many women have done excellently,
        but you surpass them all.”
    30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
        but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
    31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
        and let her works praise her in the gates.

CHAPTER 26 ISAIAH for today:

(October 31 (RF) ESV)

   

26 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

“We have a strong city;
    he sets up salvation
    as walls and bulwarks.
2 Open the gates,
    that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
3 You keep him in perfect peace
    whose mind is stayed on you,
    because he trusts in you.
4 Trust in the Lord forever,
    for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
5 For he has humbled
    the inhabitants of the height,
    the lofty city.
He lays it low, lays it low to the ground,
    casts it to the dust.
6 The foot tramples it,
    the feet of the poor,
    the steps of the needy.”

7 The path of the righteous is level;
    you make level the way of the righteous.
8 In the path of your judgments,
    O Lord, we wait for you;
your name and remembrance
    are the desire of our soul.
9 My soul yearns for you in the night;
    my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
For when your judgments are in the earth,
    the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 If favor is shown to the wicked,
    he does not learn righteousness;
in the land of uprightness he deals corruptly
    and does not see the majesty of the Lord.
11 O Lord, your hand is lifted up,
    but they do not see it.
Let them see your zeal for your people, and be ashamed.
    Let the fire for your adversaries consume them.
12 O Lord, you will ordain peace for us,
    for you have indeed done for us all our works.
13 O Lord our God,
    other lords besides you have ruled over us,
    but your name alone we bring to remembrance.
14 They are dead, they will not live;
    they are shades, they will not arise;
to that end you have visited them with destruction
    and wiped out all remembrance of them.
15 But you have increased the nation, O Lord,
    you have increased the nation; you are glorified;
    you have enlarged all the borders of the land.

16 O Lord, in distress they sought you;
    they poured out a whispered prayer
    when your discipline was upon them.
17 Like a pregnant woman
    who writhes and cries out in her pangs
    when she is near to giving birth,
so were we because of you, O Lord;
18     we were pregnant, we writhed,
    but we have given birth to wind.
We have accomplished no deliverance in the earth,
    and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.
19 Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.
    You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!
For your dew is a dew of light,
    and the earth will give birth to the dead.

20 Come, my people, enter your chambers,
    and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
    until the fury has passed by.
21 For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place
    to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity,
and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it,
    and will no more cover its slain.

Revelation 18

for today: (OCTOBER  31 (NN) ESV)

1 

18 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And he called out with a mighty voice,

“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
    She has become a dwelling place for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
    a haunt for every unclean bird,
    a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
3 For all nations have drunk[a]
    the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
    and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”

4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,

“Come out of her, my people,
    lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven,
    and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,
    and repay her double for her deeds;
    mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed.
7 As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
    so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
    ‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
    and mourning I shall never see.’
8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day,
    death and mourning and famine,
and she will be burned up with fire;
    for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”

9 And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. 10 They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,

“Alas! Alas! You great city,
    you mighty city, Babylon!
For in a single hour your judgment has come.”

11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.[b]

14 “The fruit for which your soul longed
    has gone from you,
and all your delicacies and your splendors
    are lost to you,
    never to be found again!”

15 The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

16 “Alas, alas, for the great city
    that was clothed in fine linen,
        in purple and scarlet,
    adorned with gold,
        with jewels, and with pearls!
17 For in a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste.”

And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning,

“What city was like the great city?”

19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,

“Alas, alas, for the great city
    where all who had ships at sea
    grew rich by her wealth!
For in a single hour she has been laid waste.
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven,
    and you saints and apostles and prophets,
for God has given judgment for you against her!”

21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,

“So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence,
    and will be found no more;
22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
    will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
    will be found in you no more,
and the sound of the mill
    will be heard in you no more,
23 and the light of a lamp
    will shine in you no more,
and the voice of bridegroom and bride
    will be heard in you no more,
for your merchants were the great ones of the earth,
    and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
    and of all who have been slain on earth.”

Please Remember:

“CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS

AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD!”

 

 

The Steps to Salvation:

> Repent: Repentance means that you are turning away from sin to turn to Christ. It does NOT mean that you will be perfect.

> Believe/Receive: Salvation is through Faith in Jesus and by the Grace of God. Believing means putting your Faith in Jesus and receiving forgiveness of sin.

>Walk in the Newness of Life: Jesus died so that we might live. We walk in the Newness of Life being Born Again by His Blood.
