Inheriting The Promises Of God
Wednesday March 4, 2020
When we accept Jesus as our Saviour and Lord, we receive the same right to the promises of God as a son or daughter has when they inherit property from a parent after their death. God’s promises are given to those who inherit salvation, so we might participate in God’s divine nature and escape the corruption of our sinful desires. We share in the very nature of God because God’s Spirit lives within us guaranteeing all that God has promised.
He has also given us his very great and valuable promises. He did it so you could share in his nature. You can share in it because you’ve escaped from the evil in the world. This evil is caused by sinful desires. (2 Peter 1:4 NIRV)
If we were told we have inherited money through the will of a deceased person we would need to get a copy of the will and read it. If we meet the criteria stated in the will, we can claim what has been gifted to us. To claim the promises of God we need to read the details of our inheritance as recorded in the Bible.
…All of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then your sins will be forgiven. You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. God has made a great many promises. They are all “Yes” because of what Christ has done. (Acts 2:38; 2 Corinthians 1:20 NIRV)
As we improve our conscious contact with God through prayer and reading His Word, we will grow in our knowledge of who God is and share in His nature. Having had this spiritual awakening, we will desire to carry this message to others, and practice God’s principles in all our affairs.
Prayer: Gracious God, Thank you for making a way for me to escape the evil of this world caused by my sinful desires. I want to get to know You and enjoy the many gifts promised to me through believing in Your beloved son. Amen
