Hebrews
Introduction.
Life has taught us that “promises are made to be broken.”
for this reason we have learned to take most of them with a grain of salt.
Yet the Christian faith calls us to stake our eternal destinies upon the promises of God.
For this reason it is important that we understand the nature of those promises and how they are realized in our lives.
I. God’s Immutable Purpose.
God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised (Hebrews 6:17).
A. God’s promises are credible.
1. God’s promises are grounded in His character.
He has the absolute ability and the uncompromising integrity to fulfill them.
They are, therefore, completely credible.
2. So important is it to God that His children believe in His promises that He on several occasions confirmed them by a sacred oath.
He has voluntarily sworn by the highest power in the universe—Himself (Genesis 22:16; Isaiah 45:23; Jeremiah 22:5).
It is as if God raises His right hand to us and says, “I will keep my promises, so help Me, Me!”
3. God’s promise and God’s oath are “two unchangeable things” (v.
18).
They are fixed and immutable.
They are as certain as the setting of the sun (Jeremiah 33:20, 21).
B. God’s promises are conditional.
1.
Yet, as our author has repeatedly warned, not all of God’s children “inherit what has been promised” (Hebrews 6:12).
This is not due to any failing on the part of God.
It is due to some failing on the part of man.
