Consider how God speaks and acts
The 5 Verbs of Learning: Reflect
God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
Numbers 23:19
Let’s review some promises in the Scriptures and see if you can spot the condition and the promised blessings that are offered. Can you identify what is being promised and what must be fulfilled as a condition? The 40 Days DNA Series is looking at promises at this time as well. We will discuss later how the promises of God are crucial in terms of reaching the world but it is good practice handling God’s promises correctly. What are the promises and conditions in the following verses:
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For Reflection:
- What are the most breath-taking promises in the Bible for you?
- How are the promises of God based on who He is?
Make Life Count:
- Take one promise and go for a walk and discuss with God what you hope to see from that promise.
- Share this promise. What are you asking God for?
Thirsty for More?
- Google “Promises in the Bible” and explore the options. Does this give you any clue where to study the promises more?
Speak Lord, your servants listen…
