“The Promise is True”
Saturday, August 3, 2024Key Verse
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:4
Text — 2 Peter 1:1-4
Message
Dan, who desired a beautiful smart wristwatch, asked his father to buy one for him. “Okay, I will,” his father said in response to his request. Dan’s father returned home in the evening with a gift pack that looked different from what Dan expected and handed it to him, just as he had promised. Dan quickly turned off the TV he was watching focussed and on unpacking the gift pack. After a few minutes, he got to the beautiful wristwatch and started singing “My father has kept his promise … oh, oh”
God goes above and beyond what our parents could do to keep His promises. All His promises are true. As today’s key verse has shown, His promise to make your heart holy and share with you His nature of purity is true. Just as He did for Enoch, Samuel, Noah, Paul and many others, He will do it for you too. All of God’s children can receive the gift of a holy heart, heart then pray to God to make your heart holy. Now is the time to pray for a pure heart and see that God’s promises are true.
