THE PROMISE KEEPER: HIS FAITHFULNESS
Hebrews 6:13-20
The eternal, infinite God of the universe makes promises, and unlike those in our world He keeps His promises, secured and anchored in the blood of Jesus.
God's faithfulness is directly related to His promise-making and promise-keeping. He voluntarily limits Himself by making covenants with His people. These covenants define the relationship His people have with Him, and they show that He is a God who makes glorious promises, and keeps those promises. We can have confidence that He will keep His promises because of the blood of Jesus.
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
1. What is a "covenant" and why does it matter for how we relate to God?
2. How is it shocking that the eternal, infinite God of the universe makes promises to His people?
3. Why are the promises of God essential for your life?
4. How does the New Covenant in the blood of Jesus give you confidence that God will always keep His promises?
5. How can the promises of God anchor your soul this week?
