Acts 26:6 KJV
And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
This year our church theme is "Standing on the Promises of God." It has been a blessing so far to preach the promises of God in His Word. One of the things I have come to realize in the study for these messages is that there is really only one promise as given in Genesis 3:15; the promise of a seed, the promise of a Saviour. All of the other major promises simply build upon that one.
This is the promise upon which Paul stood. and
This was the promise upon which Paul was judged
Sometimes we Christians make up our own promises for God to keep. When we stand upon them we find they are insufficient. No wonder; they are not real.
If we stand upon this one promise, that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin. (1 John 1:7) Then we will have an anchor for the soul steadfast and sure!
