Unlocking the Power of God’s Promises
Imagine receiving a check from a trusted friend, payable to you, with a guarantee of delivering something valuable. That’s what a promise from God is like. According to Charles Spurgeon, a renowned preacher, we’re not meant to casually read God’s promises and forget about them. Instead, we’re to treat them as reality, endorsing them with our own name by personally receiving them as true.
Faith: The Key to Unlocking God’s Promises
When we accept God’s promises by faith, we seal the deal, believing that He is true to His word. We acknowledge the receipt of the blessing, putting our name to it. This is exactly what Spurgeon did during times of severe depression and suffering. He reflected on specific promises of God from Scripture, which strengthened his heart.
