What makes the promises of the past
have any value in the present?
For example, Jesus promised that his
sheep would never perish! (John 10)
The promise is only true if the person
who made the promise is alive , powerful and active. Otherwise it is a hoax.
And that’s just the reason, that the statement
of Revelation chapter one is so significant.
The Lord Jesus Christ said:
“Fear not, I am the first and the last,
and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forever more, and I have the
keys of death and hell.”
Because He lives, the present and
future security of His sheep is secure. No one can snatch them out of His hand.
Among the many things happening in
heaven, this gives great assurance to all believers, that the living Lord cares,
and will keep His promises.
Trust in the Lord and don’t despair
He is a friend so true
No matter what your troubles are
Jesus will see you through.
