What is meant by the promise of God? God's promises are His word: Intended for us meant for us to consider for us to meditate upon finally, for us to believe whole-heartedly in God's son believe in JESUS, the Christ; which is to do with all our hearts mind and soul all that He says. And what does He say to us? He says that the Kingdom of Heaven is near He tells us not to be afraid He invites us to come... He asks us to follow Him wherever He leads us. He promises He will never leave us, nor forsake us we will never be abandoned by Him for the only inescapable reason, for one undeniable truth, because of His Father's love and His Father's will we are secure in our position. Thanks to God's promise and God's provision We can believe the promise , we can embrace the provision We are free to join Him in His new life for us, free in wholeness, new in our restored beauty, in the final, full dimension of His perfect newness as He told us when our conversation of promise commenced, when we first explored the premise of His promise, when we began by understanding first, His Incredible Sacrifice and it's stunning result, how Christ was broken for us, How He was broken by us, broken because of us. In His suffering we are complicit, as our sins are taken and laid upon His already broken body adding to His pain the additional weight of our own sins. We are not afraid for we know the Kingdom of God is here For we have come, now knowing; we are glad to be here where His promises are no longer the subject of faith But are now the very substance of our new eternity. Us resting forever in His promise, knowing it is true. That IS Believing, and I believe it IS true. Is it also true with you? Be not afraid! The Kingdom of God is near. Come and follow. Reach out and taste His love, feel His presence. Believe He has called you to Himself. Draw near to Him, be reconciled. Do not be afraid! He has come, and He will come again! Alongside His perfect life, He has laid His perfect promise. Rejoice. Believe. Amen. A poem by Jon Elvrum, September, 2019 |
