Episode 014 - The Bible - The Beginning to the End - The Promises of God

With this podcast we are beginning with the prophetic books of
the Bible. These Prophetic Books contain the mighty promises of
God.


So, what is your definition of a promise?


When a man and a woman stand at the wedding altar and promise
each other, what are they doing?


They are committing themselves to give of themselves to each
other. A promise then, basically, is a commitment to share
yourself. If you give a promise to someone, you are committing or
sharing something of your time, your energy, or your resources
with that person.


That is what a promise is. It is a sharing of self.


The great promises of the Bible are the assurances of God to
share Himself with us. When we understand God’s promises, we will
begin to understand something more of the nature and the
character of our God. Every promise is a commitment, on God's
part, to give of Himself.
