When people make promises, they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if there is any question that they’ll make good on the promise, the authority will back them up.
When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee—God can’t break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable.
We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 6:18-20 The Message

ReplyDeleteHi Nina! Oh my gosh, I love this image and quote! What translation of the bible did you use? So here am I, ready to grab on with two hands! He is faithful, and will give me all he promised, if only I will say 'yes' to him. YES!!

Hi Ceil, Thank you for your sweet words! I have used the Message-translation - it sometimes gives a fresh feeling to the well known verses (I can see I forgot to write it beside the Scripture here). Blessings to you a peaceful weekend,
