GOD'S GREAT BENEFITS

               "having promise of the Life that now is" 1 Timothy 4:8                                                          Edward Proffitt, Th.D.

​

​Peter in his first epistle cautioning Christians that our earth walk will not devoid of difficulties. Those who tell you otherwise simply reject truth of God's Word. With God's Word, truth becomes more cherished than reputation, "Given unto us exceeding great and precious [promises" (2 Peter 1:4).   

 

The more time we spend submerging ourselves into His Words of Grace, the deeper viewpoint into His provisions we receive, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God. and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16).

​

God's Word is able to help regardless of the problem or situation. The song writer put it well, "Standing on the promises of Christ my King. Thro eternal ages let His praises ring; Glory in the highest I will shout and sing, Standing on the promises of God".

​

Those promises are His personal benefits for us. No benefit is worth much until it is redeemed.  The receiver of the benefit has a duty to confront the provider to obtain the benefit. from the source, if the beneficiary has no faith in the one providing the benefit, nothing will be done to receive it.

 

However, if there is belief in the integrity of the benefactor, he takes the given benefit and redeems it into personal advantage. To it is with the promise of God. A person who has little faith in the creator will probably do little with the promises. But if we believe in God's provision, we will apply it to our life as a personal advantage.​

​

Let me share a poem penned by an unknown writer, the title: 

NOW: 

Leave the HOW with Jesus tis enough to know faithful to His promise that He will provide redemption, hope, encouragement, and strength for the day. Every day there will be things that will be manifest before us​.​

​​

Some will be difference of the manifestation; the only real way is to check it out with God's Word. All of God's benefits are for the believer to have victory of a Holy Life. God's Word is truth, therefore I know God'   promises are true.
