“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” (1 Corinthians 1:20).
All of the Chaplain’s Corners in 2023 have been based on promises in the Bible. These promises and their fulfillment reveal the foundations of our theology and doctrinal knowledge. In other words, these promises tell us about God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit: The Trinity; the character of God, the attributes of God, the goodness, justice, mercy, grace, and love of God.
This final promise from this series is in the passage below: Our inheritance. To properly receive an inheritance, the provider of the inheritance has to die. Jesus’ death has secured for us an inheritance, and Jesus’ resurrection has guaranteed that our inheritance is eternal. My prayer for you is that you have secured this promise by receiving the gift of salvation through faith in Christ.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:3-5).
Glory be to God!
Amen and Amen!!
In Christ,
Judy
