God Keeps His Promises

This week Chris Foster shares a back-to-school reminder from his own college days. Every fall he promised himself that this would be the semester he stayed ahead of his work. He never kept that promise.

That story becomes a picture of why we need Jesus. We make commitments we cannot keep. God does not.

From 2 Corinthians 1, Paul points to this truth: “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ.”

Chris encourages us that God is not like us — and thank God for that. He keeps His word. And the promises He has made through Jesus — the Holy Spirit, forgiveness, salvation, eternal life, His presence with us, and the strength to fight temptation — are promises we can trust as a new season begins.
