I am going to speak of three precious promises, which I hope my dear little readers will make their own by faith in the Promiser.
“Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”
Who are these people which the text speaks of, who are so highly favored?
Well, you know the Epistle to the Hebrews was written to believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. Most of the Jews would not have Him; they cast Him out and got Pilate to crucify Him. But these Hebrew Christians had received Him as the long-promised Messiah, and had put their whole trust in Him.
Now if you, like them, receive Jesus as the Saviour who came to seek and save you, and put your whole trust in Him and His precious blood, you will be among those who can claim this first precious promise.
“I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
You are in a world that does not love the Lord, a world which hates Him and His people. You will have trials, temptations, and difficulties to meet with on the journey home to heaven; but all the way this precious promise will be realized, if you simply try, day by day, to please the Lord Jesus.
“I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am there ye may be also.”
How sweet! The earthly pilgrimage sill not always last. The day of which Jesus spoke, fast draws near. He is coming, and coming for you, if you are His; and when He comes He will change these bodies of ours and make them like His own: then in a moment we shall find ourselves caught up into the air to meet Him, and to go with Him to His father’s house of many mansions. Truly these are precious promises, are they not? I hope you can say they are yours.
