"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. You say, ‘I am rich, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.” Revelation 3:15-17.
The Lord makes it quite clear in this passage that He does not want half-hearted worshipers, that He is not interested in marginal believers, or followers with tepid faith. II Peter 1:4 tells us that we are given “great and precious promises,” so it behooves us to walk in the power that’s ours.
Here are just a few of the amazing promises that are ours immediately upon our embrace of Christ as our Savior. They only scratch the surface of what Jesus has assured us is ours.
2 Peter 1:4
And because of His glory and excellence, He has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share His divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Matthew 11:28-29
Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Isaiah 40:29-31
He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
Philippians 4:19
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His riches in glory, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:37-39.
I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Proverbs 1:33
But all who listen to Me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.
John 14:27
I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
Romans 10:9
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 6:23
The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Dear Children! Do these few great and precious promises not whet your appetite for the God who made them! Do these words of power and hope and truth which so profoundly reveal His love not make you hunger for His salvation! Lay your life at His feet today, for today is the day of salvation (see II Corinthians 6:2).
Make no tarrying, for He doesn’t promise us tomorrow.
