God’s Promises to His Children
1. God has promised to walk with us. His everlasting presence is always with us because He has affirmed that He will never leave or forsake those who are His children (Heb. 13:5).
2. He will guide us. “I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you” (Ps. 32:8). In His omniscience the Lord knows all things and is therefore the only one who can perfectly guide us through life if we are willing to follow.
3. The Lord listens to us. Prayer is an amazing privilege by which we can freely come to Him with all our concerns and know that He hears and answers. Our responsibility is to ask, trust, wait, and obey.
4. God promises to encourage us. He sustains, strengthens, and encourages us when we are weak and exhausted by supplying all we need according to His riches in glory (Phil. 4:19).
5. He will empower us. At the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit comes to seal us as children of God and indwell us forever. He is our Helper who empowers our obedience, guides our lives, gives us wisdom, enables us to serve God as He desires, and strengthens us to endure. Without His presence, we would be unable to live the Christian life.
6. The Lord provides for us. He is a good God who desires the best for us. That’s why He has given us His Word as our guide so we can know Him and His will. As we obey what He has said, His best is unfolded to us.
7. God protects us. Although He does not remove all problems and suffering, He guards our souls, walks with us through affliction, and works every situation for good according to His divine purpose. When we are unable to understand what He is doing, we can trust in the fact that He knows what is best and how to achieve it.
8. He forgives us. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Even though we are saved, we still sin in many ways—some that are very obvious and others that are not. But when we come to God in confession, He is always faithful to forgive us based on Christ’s payment for our sins on the cross.
9. God loves us unconditionally. His love flows from His nature not from our own worthiness. The proof of this is the cross. Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and once we believe in Him for salvation, His love can never be removed from us.
10. The Lord has secured eternity for us. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
His blessings now are just a foretaste of what awaits us forever in heaven.
