He has promised

"Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life" (I John 2:24, 25 NKJV). Man makes so many promises, and some will go to the extreme to keep them, some will try to keep them, and others could care less about what they have promised. One man named Jesus came to fulfill His Father's promises, and in doing so we, by faith in Him, can have God's promises for our lives. It is a life filled with hope, love, and everlasting life in Jesus Christ. We have been told to keep what we have heard from the Word of God in our hearts, then we will dwell in the Son and in the Father always. Grab ahold of the Living Word of God and allow Him to saturate your life in the Truth. Permanently abide in, live in, remain in, and be knit to Him just as He has taught you. Christ gives us His promise of eternal life and the Holy Spirit to lead our lives on the path to eternity so that we may help others along the way also. He wants us to show others the Love of Christ and the hope in His living Word. When we trust in and have confidence in Him, we will not be ashamed when He appears. "And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming" (vs. 28). The only way one can come into these promises is though the Blood of Christ, who is the Door to everlasting Life. God bless you. Amen
