GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES!

We live in a world filled with broken promises.

People break promises. Institutions fail. Circumstances change.

But Scripture repeatedly reminds us that God is different.

In Galatians 3, Paul points believers back to God's covenant with Abraham. Long before Moses received the Law, God promised that through Abraham's offspring all nations would be blessed.

That promise pointed directly to Jesus Christ.

Many people assume that God's plan for salvation began with rules and commandments. Yet Paul explains that God's promise came first. The Law was never intended to replace the promise.

Instead, the Law serves an important purpose.

It reveals our sin.

It shows us our inability to save ourselves.

It demonstrates our need for grace.

Like looking into a mirror, the Law helps us see the truth about ourselves. The problem is that mirrors cannot fix what they reveal.

Only Jesus can do that.

The good news of the Gospel is that God never intended for us to earn salvation through perfect obedience. None of us could accomplish that task.

Instead, He fulfilled His promise through Christ.

Jesus lived the perfect life we could not live.

He died the death we deserved.

He rose again to offer forgiveness and eternal life.

Because of Him, we can stop asking, "Am I good enough?"

Instead, we can confidently say, "Christ is enough."

God's promise remains secure because God's character never changes.

When life feels uncertain, remember this truth:

God keeps His promises.
