GOD’S PERFECT WORD---COVENANTS AND PROMISES




Has anyone
Ever made you a promise
And not kept their word


Has God


The answers are
Yes and no
At least by the experience
Of my own life


I have been
Let down over and over again
By human beings
But not by God


God always
Keeps his words


A covenant is defined
As an agreement between two parties
A solemn promise or vow
Especially between God and people


God always keeps his covenant
God always keeps his word


God said to Noah
“Never again
Will the waters become a flood
To destroy all the earth
Whenever the RAINBOW appears
In the clouds
I will see it
And remember the everlasting covenant
Between GOD and ALL living creatures
Of every kind”


Man makes promises
Do they keep them
Sometimes yes and sometimes no
Not so with God
God ALWAYS keeps his word


God said to Abraham,
“As for me
This is my covenant with you:
You will be
The Father of many nations
No longer will you be called Abram
Your name will be Abraham
I have made you
The Father of many nations”


Christian, Muslim, and Jew
God always keeps his Word


God said to the Jewish people through Moses,
“You are standing here
In order to enter in to a covenant
With the Lord your God


A covenant the Lord
Is making with you
This day and sealing with an oath


To confirm you this day as his people
That he may be your God
As he promised you
And as he swore to your Fathers,
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob”


Do people keep their promises
Sometimes yes---sometimes no


God always keeps his promises
With God---it is always so


God told Nathan
To go and tell David,
“Your house and your kingdom
Will endure forever before me
Your thrown will be established forever”


God always keeps his word


With people
Promises made---sometimes
Are promises broken


With God---that is never so
God always keeps his word


“This is the covenant
I will make with them
I will
Put my law in their hearts
And I will write them
On their minds”


Through Christ’s perfect sacrifice
And the SPIRIT who testifies


GOD’S WORD IS PERFECT
HE ALWAYS KEEPS HIS WORD
