2 CORINTHIANS 1:20-22-“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. NOW IT IS GOD WHO MAKES BOTH US
AND YOU STAND FIRM IN CHRIST. HE ANOINTED US, SET HIS SEAL OF
OWNERSHIP ON US, AND HE PUT HIS SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS AS A DEPOSIT,
GUARANTEEING WHAT IS TO COME.”
WHAT ARE GOD’S PROMISES? GOD’S PROMISES ARE ASSURANCES FOUND IN
SCRIPTURE (SUCH AS THE BIBLE) THAT IS ROOTED IN HIS UNCHANGING
CHARACTER AND OFFER BELIEVERS HOPE, GUIDANCE, AND PROVISION. KEY
PROMISES INCLUDE ETERNAL LIFE, PROTECTION, PROVISION FOR NEEDS,
PEACE, COMFORT, FORGIVENESS, GUIDANCE, WISDOM, AND ASSURANCE OF
GOD’S PRESENCE AND FAITHFULNESS.
THESE PROMISES CAN BE GENERAL, APPLYING TO ALL BELIEVERS, OR
CONDITIONAL, DEPENDENT ON FAITH AND OBEDIENCE. FACING ADVERSITIES,
WE SHOULD STAND ON GOD’S PROMISES. GOD’S PROMISES HOLD GREAT
POWER AND PLACE OUR HEART AT EASE. MANY TIMES GOD WILL USE THESE
PROMISES TO TEST OUR OBEDIENCE AND OUR FAITHFULNESS TO HIM.
SOME TIMES PROMISES WILL TAKE TIME TO BE FULFILLED, BECAUSE GOD’S
TIMIMG IS BASED ON HIS BIG PURPOSES. ABRAHAM HAD TO WAIT FOR ISAAC
TO BE BORN. ISRAELITES HAD TO WAIT BEFORE THEY COULD ENTER THE
PROMISED LAND. HANNAH HAD TO WAIT FOR HER WOMB TO BE OPENED TO
BRING FORTH SAMUEL.
THE REASON IS THAT GOD IS WORKING OUT HIS PROMISES AND
PURPOSES IN OUR LIVES IN HARMONY WITH WHAT HE IS DOING IN HISTORY, IN
NATIONS AND THE ENTIRE PEOPLE GROUPS BECAUSE ANSWERS MUST LINE UP
WITH HISTORY—HARMONY AND HISTORY MUST LINE UP .

ROMANS 14:10 “FOR WE SHALL ALL STAND BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF
CHRIST”
ALL REFER TO THE BELIEVERS NOT ALL HUMANITY. THIS JUDGMENT WILL
NOT BE ABOUT SALVATION. CHRIST WILL NOT DECLARE AT THAT MOMENT
WHETHER SOMEONE WILL GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL. BELIEVERS WILL BE
REWARDED FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE ON EARTH AS BELIEVERS. GOD WILL
ASK, DID YOU USE YOUR GIFT AND TALENT TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK OF
GOD, WHILE ON EARTH, AND DID THAT WORK BUILD THE KINGDOM OF GOD
WHAT YOU DID WAS IT FOR YOUR OWN GRATIFICATION?
AT THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST, GOD WILL GIVE REWARDS TO THOSE
WHO DID THE WORK OF THE LORD.
REVELATION 20:11-15 GIVE THE STORY OF THE GREAT WHITE THRONE
JUDGMENT THAT WILL TAKE PLACE ON EARTH AFTER THE MILENNIAL (1000)
REIGN OF CHRIST. ONLY THE UNBELIEVERS WILL BE AT THIS JUDGMENT TO
BE JUDGED AND BE CONDEMN TO THE LAKE OF FIRE

BIBLICAL PROPHECIES ARE PREDICTIONS ABOUT FUTURE EVENTS, OR WE
COULD SAY DIVINE PRONOUNCEMENT. IT IS A SOURCE OF HOPE FOR GODS
PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY THOSE CONCERNED WITH THE MESSIAH. THESE
PROPHECIES ARE USUALLY DELIVERED BY PROPHETS IN THE BIBLE. BIBLICAL
PROPHECIES ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY VALIDATE THE AUTHORITY OF
SCRIPTURE REVEALS GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY OVER HUMAN HISTORY, AND
PROVIDES BELIEVERS WITH PRACTICAL GUIDANCE AND HOPE AMIDST
MODERN GLOBAL INSTABILITY. THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST WAS
PROPHECIED IN ISAIAH 7:14 AND FULFILLED IN MATTHEW 1:22-23. CHRIST
THREE YEAR MINISTRY WAS PROPHECIED BY ISAIAH 40:3 AND FULFILLED IN
LUKE 4:43. DEATH OF CHRIST WAS PROPHECIED IN ISAIAH 53:9 AND FULFILLED
IN JOHN 19:30, CHRIST'S RESURRECTION WAS PROPHECIED IN PSALM 16:10 AND
FULFILLED IN HEBREWS 7:27. THERE ARE MANY MORE PROPHECIES AND
FULFILLMENT IN THE SCRIPTURES. HOWEVER, THERE ARE PROPHECIES THAT
WERE PREDICTED BUT NOT YET FULFILLED, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SECOND
COMING OF JESUS CHRIST IN REVELATION
