God’s promises never change

“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God” (2 Cor 1:20; NIV). As Christians we can walk in all of God’s promises found in His word, but sometimes questions may creep in to our minds. Are those promise still for today or just when Jesus was on the earth? Were they just for the early disciples or just for the early church?
How does scripture answer these worrisome questions that may come up? Well, to start with, in many places in the Old Testament, God tells us that He won’t leave us or forsake us (e.g. Deut 31:6). This verse is also quoted by the writer of Hebrews (Heb 13:5). The apostle Matthew quoted Jesus saying, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matt 28:20; NKJV). In Malachi 13:8 we read, “For I am the Lord, I do not change” and of Jesus it was written, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever” (Heb 13:8; NKJV). James, the brother of Jesus, wrote that with our heavenly Father there is “no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:17; NKJV). Now let’s look at a couple of scriptures that refer specifically to God’s word. “The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:8; NKJV) and 1 Peter 1:25: “But the word of the Lord endures forever”. We could certainly conclude that all God’s promises in His word are “Yes” and certainly ours now and forever! Don’t let your mind, anyone or anything talk you out of all God has for you.
