“Thus
I establish My covenant with you.” Genesis 9:11
Our God is a covenant making God. He
makes promises that He can keep. While other religions hope their gods do what
they promised, we can believe it absolutely. When God makes a promise He
declares that His integrity is behind it. What is His integrity? He is holy,
always righteous and good, cannot lie, and is strong enough to create
everything out of nothing. In other words, He is big enough, strong enough, and
good enough to fulfill His promises.
He is not only a covenant making
God, but also a covenant keeping God. He has sealed His covenant of forgiveness
of sin and everlasting life with the blood of His own son. Jesus said, “This is the new covenant in my blood which
is shed for you” as he offered the cup to His disciples the night before
His crucifixion. God’s covenant with us is sealed not only by His word, but by
the very blood of Jesus Christ. We can count on God keeping His covenant with
us.
Dear Father, Thank You for giving us
the covenant of forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus Christ. Amen.
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop
you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in
the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be
enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend. Amen
