Galatians 5: 28

 

²⁸Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

 

Don’t we live on promises today? Promises of a better life by getting that raise, if we just work a little harder, the promise of the bonus if we just get that extra sale….the promise of fidelity in our relationships if we just give our spouse the things they want to make them happy……the promise of freedom, as long as we will submit to the Government. We have no problem placing our trust in promises that will never be fully filled, or will never make us whole. We give our trust to these things so freely, yet so many of us will not live for the one promise that counts….the promise of the New Covenant, the promise that is Jesus Christ. It pains my heart to see so many live their life on the hope of this world, I constantly see people meet with failure, despair, and hopelessness because they live for the wrong promise. Free your mind, and the rest will follow, break the cycle of living for empty promises. Live for the promise of eternity, place your trust, and faith in the promise, hope, and love of Christ. The rest will take care of itself with much less effort from you. Folks, we are all important, but we are not as important as we like to think we are as individuals. When we gather as a group of believers at the cross of Christ, when we join hands in the faith of the promise, then not only are we fulfilling part of our commission, but we are unstoppable. Live for the true promise, live, not for this life, but for eternity.

 

Peace,
