The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him in Joshua 21:45,
"Not one of all the Lord's good promises to the house of Israel failed; every one was fulfilled."
The Lord is our great God of promises. He makes promises and he keeps them. Some have been fulfilled and some are yet to come. The promises of God are an element of our relationship with him that brings tremendous anticipation and excitement.
Here are a few I dug up out of the New Testament:
God promised the Holy Spirit, which he gave the church, Acts 2:33; Ephesians 1:13.
God has promised to restore the earth which will come when Jesus Christ returns, Acts 3:21.
God promised to Abraham that his descendants would possess Canaan, which was fulfilled in the book of Joshua, Acts 7:5.
God promised to send the Savior to Israel, which he fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Acts 13:23, 32.
God has promised our resurrection, Acts 26:6.
God promised the gospel, or "good news" which has been proclaimed since the birth of the church on Pentecost, Romans 1:2.
God promised Abraham he would have offspring through Sarah. This was fulfilled when Isaac was born, Romans 4:18-21.
God has promised eternal life, Titus 1:2; 1 John 2:25.
God has promised an eternal inheritance, Hebrews 9:15.
God has promised judgment, Hebrews 12:26.
God has promised a kingdom, James 2:5.
God has promised a crown of life to those who love him, James 1:12.
God has promised a new heaven and a new earth, 2 Peter 3:13.
All exciting stuff!
