Today's promise: Colossians 1:21-22

As a new creation, Jesus presents you to God without sin or accusation.

God didn't wait for you to clean up your act before He began His work of salvation.

This promise describes three ways Christ presents you to God.

1. He presents you holy.

2. He presents you as faultless.

3. He presents you blameless.

You are not the person you used to be. God has removed your past and forgiven your sin. Jesus presents you holy, faultless, and blameless before God.

Today's Promise: Hebrews 13:20-21

God has already qualified, empowered, and equipped you to walk in obedience to Him and serve Him with faithfulness and power.

Whatever God calls you to today, He has already equipped you to handle it. God never commands you to do something that He doesn't empower you to accomplish. When I was a boy, our pastor used to say, "God doesn't call the qualified; He qualifies the called."

No matter what you may face today, you can accomplish all God has for you because He has already equipped you. You have all you need for victory and obedience.

Today’s Promise: Psalm 145:9

God is good. Goodness is part of His character. Goodness is at the heart of all He is. He is not just mighty, not just powerful, not just eternal; He is good.

Because God is good, He does good.

God’s goodness sent His only Son into this world. It was His goodness that brought about your salvation.

God pours out his goodness on all of His creation. His goodness blessed those who love Him and those who hate Him. He offers His mercy to all who will come to Him.

Today's Promise: Matthew 21:22

God loves answering His children's prayers. However, there is a condition to this promise on prayer. Your prayer must accompany your prayer with faith.

Praying in faith can move mountains; praying without faith is a waste of time.

Many people pray, but they don't really believe God will answer their prayers.

Because they are just going through the motions, they never see the results of their prayer. Prayer without faith is simply talking to yourself.

Praying in faith makes your prayer life more dynamic as you see more and more of your prayers answered.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives.

Here are the promises we covered this week.

Colossians 1:13 – You are Part of the Kingdom of Light.  

2 Peter 3:9 – God is Patient.

2 John 1:3 – Mercy, Grace, and Peace Are With You.

John 4:23 – God Seeks True Worshippers.

Philippians 2:13 - God is at Work in You.

Today's Promise: Philippians 2:13

The Christian life begins in the heart. God works in your heart to bring about His will and desire.

So many Christians try to obey God on the outside without allowing God to change them on the inside.

The Christian life is all about allowing the Holy Spirit to transform and empower your thinking so that your actions follow.

You will find new strength and power to live the Christian life in victory and service to Christ as you allow God to transform and empower your heart.

Today’s Promise: John 4:23

As a Christian, you have a unique ability to worship God. Only you can worship Him in Spirit and Truth. No other creature can lift up praise and worship like you.

Jesus said that to please God with real worship, we must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Real worship begins in the spirit. It isn’t about the style, the posture, or even the volume.

Real worship is based on truth. Honesty is the beginning point of God-pleasing worship.

God loves it when His children come to Him in thankful praise and worship.

Today's Promise: 2 John 1:3

As followers of Christ, God fills our lives with grace, mercy, and peace.

Grace is the unmerited favor of God. No matter how good you are or how hard you try, it won't affect your standing with God.

God's mercy sent Jesus into the world to save you from your sin. It is God's mercy that created your salvation.

Peace is the result of God's grace and mercy working in your life. Because of His grace and mercy, you have peace.

God's mercy and grace come together to bring about God's peace in your life.

Today's Promise: 2 Peter 3:9

With all the challenges and pressures you face, I want to remember that God is patient with you.

Almost every spiritual giant in the Bible had a significant setback or failure. For example, the night Jesus was arrested, Peter had a chance to make a stand for Christ.

The good news is that God understands your weakness. He knows your weakness and frailty.

God is patiently working in your life. He knows your weaknesses and your failures, but is committed to bringing you into a closer relationship with Him.

Today's Promise: Colossians 1:13

Because of your faith in Christ, you are part of God's kingdom, the Kingdom of Light.

There are two invisible kingdoms in the world: the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of Light. The kingdom of darkness is ruled by Satan and is set on your destruction. The kingdom of light is the kingdom of God and gives life, love, and freedom.

The power of sin is broken, and Satan has no claim on you. Through your faith in Christ, you are now a citizen of heaven.
