Standing on the Promises

 

“And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life.” (1 John 2:25)

 

A little boy was on the roof of a shed behind his house. The ladder he had climbed on to get up there had fallen.  He was in a predicament. His father came to him and was encouraging him to jump into his waiting arms. “Jump son.  Daddy promises to catch you.” The little fellow would start to jump and then his fear would not let him.  His father reminded him of some of the promises he had made to the son and that he had never broken one. “Son, I’ll keep my promise. If you will jump, I will catch you.  It’s a promise.”  The little boy believed his dad, turned loose and jumped.  His dad kept his promise.

 

Do you recall the old hymn, “Standing on the Promises?”  You can stand on the promises of God. He has never broken a single one.

 

Romans 10:13 says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.” That’s a promise. Have you called on Him in faith for salvation?  Trust His promise.
