Today’s Scripture

Beloved friends, let me use an illustration that we can all understand. Technically, when a contract is signed, it can’t be changed after it has been put into effect; it’s too late to alter the agreement. Remember the royal proclamation God spoke over Abraham and to Abraham’s child? God said that his promises were made to pass on to Abraham’s “Child,” not children. And who is this “Child?” It’s the Son of promise, Jesus, the anointed Messiah! This means that the covenant between God and Abraham was fulfilled in Messiah and cannot be altered. Yet the written law was not even given to Moses until 430 years later, after God had “signed” his contract with Abraham! The law, then, doesn’t supersede the promise since the royal proclamation was given before the law. If that were the case, it would have nullified what God said to Abraham. We receive all the promises because of the Promised One—not because we keep the law!

Galatians 3:15-17

Today’s Thought

The promises of God are conditional, but the faithfulness of God never is…

Keep your side of the promise no matter what because God will always keep His side of the promise… God cannot lie; if He said it, you can guarantee it…

Today’s Confession

Thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness. Thank you for your character and your nature. Thank you that you never lie, and that if you said it, I can believe it.
