The Daily Promise

Today's promise: 1 Corinthians 2:16

There are two types of people: those who live by sight and those who live by faith.

Those who live by sight only believe what they can see. They are blind to spiritual truth and stumble through life, blind to the spiritual world around them.

Those who live by faith have placed their faith in Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to direct them.

The Spirit speaks and teaches them and teaches from God's Word. Their spiritual eyes are open, and they live with new understanding.

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.

Nehemiah 8:10 – God's Joy is Your Strength.

Colossians 2:9-10 – You Are Made Complete in Christ.

John 14:5-6 - Jesus is the Only Way to God.

Romans 5:1-2 – Jesus Brings Grace and Hope.

Romans 6:3-4 – Raise to Walk a New Life.

Today's Promise: Romans 6:3-4

It may seem strange, but according to this promise, you are dead. When you gave your life to Christ and by faith accepted Him as Savior and Lord, you were crucified with Christ.

Your old life died with Christ on the cross.

Your union with Christ is lived out in water baptism. Your baptism was a symbol of your death in Christ.

Your death in Christ buried your past sins and failures. It opened the doors for your resurrection, and it broke the power of sin in your life.

Today's Promise: Romans 5:2

Grace and hope are two powerful forces working in your life. Through faith in Christ, you have access to the grace of God.

God's grace is His favor. Every time you close your eyes in prayer, you exercise the grace of God.

Hope is not wishful thinking. Hope understands that God is in control and is working all things together for your good.

Your hope is not in this world but in the Kingdom of God that is coming. Your hope is to spend eternity with Christ.

Today's Promise: John 14:5-6

Jesus once told the disciples how wonderful heaven would be. He said there would be a special place for each of His followers.

One of the disciples said, "How do we know the way?" Jesus said, "I am the way." He didn't say I know the way, or I can show you the way. Jesus said, "I am the way."

He then took it to the next level by saying He was the only way. Jesus discounted all other religions. They may be good people doing good things, but salvation comes only through Jesus.

Today's Promise: Colossians 2:9-10

When Adam turned his back on God in the garden, he became incomplete and empty. Throughout history, we humans have been trying to fill that emptiness in our hearts and lives.

When Jesus came, He changed everything. Since he had the fullness of God in Him, He imparted that fullness to you and me when we came to Him in faith.

As a Christian, you are complete in Christ. There is nothing more you need to experience all the fullness Christ has for you. Just as all the fullness of God dwelt in Christ, all the fullness of Christ dwells in you.

Today's Promise: Nehemiah 8:10

Nehemiah was a reluctant leader whom God used to restore Israel and rebuild the city of Jerusalem.

The People gathered, and the priests read the word of God. When they heard it, the people repented and mourned.

Nehemiah stood before the people and gave them a strange command. He told them to stop weeping, go, eat, and celebrate. Don't be sorrowful, but be joyful, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Joy is the confidence that God is working for your good.

You are strong today because the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Here are the promises we covered this week.

Psalm 1:3 – Your Will Not Wither.

Revelation 21:1 – Your Eternal Home

1 John 3:1 – God Calls You His Child.

Today's promise: 1 John 3:1

God has a big family. It stretches across the globe from large suburban mega-churches to small home churches.

God has a diverse family. People from all walks of life, from different races, countries, and cultures, all make up the family of God.

As children of God, God is making us like our brother Jesus. We are heirs to the kingdom of God. Jesus calls us to be holy and righteous representatives of God's family.

As members of the Family of God, we will spend eternity together in the Kingdom of God.
