Precious Promises “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises” (2 Peter 1:4). Here are some of the precious promises that we have been given: “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him” (James 1:12). “Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He hath promised to them that love Him” (James 2:5)? “Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness” (2 Peter 3:13). These promises have to do more particularly with what is yet future. Are we willing to live for the Lord now, and follow a rejected king, knowing there is a day coming when we will reign with Him in His kingdom? And remember too, there is a day coming when everything that is affected by sin will be burned up and dissolved. These promises are real. Let’s live in the enjoyment of them.
