John 1:12—but as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
The Promises Of God Belong Only To Those Who Have Surrendered Their Lives To Christ And Been Cleansed In His Blood!
God’s promises can be considered as spiritual certificates of deposit and we are spiritual heirs to these deposits. Christ has paid the price for us at the Cross and allows us to present our drafts—these promises—to claim that which God has promised to provide. In return, we receive the great blessings God has pledged to us by, through and on account of His Son, Jesus Christ.
His promises belong only to those who are children of God through faith: Heirs according to His Word. They belong to those who have joined into a spiritual union with Christ and have clothed themselves with His robe of Righteousness.
God’s promises are given on condition of our willingness to listen to His voice and obey His commands:
If you will listen diligently to he voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to follow all His commandments, which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 28:12
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His Word, truly the love of God I perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 1 John 2:3-5
