[Part 1]

The second belief we all must hold as Christians is this: God will do what He says He will do. There are hundreds of promises from God throughout the Bible and He is committed to keeping everyone of them.  It would be impossible to go through all of them here [or during a devo], but here are three that I believe are vitally important to Christians:

1. To Deliver: Psalms 18:17.  God’s people face hardship and enemies constantly, and God has promised to deliver us from the hands of those who are against us.  God delivered the Israelites from Egypt, Daniel from the lions den, Christ from the grave, us from our sins.

2. To Strengthen:Isaiah 40:29. Deliverance is just the beginning! The Israelites left Egypt, but they need to strength to make it through the wilderness. Daniel’s career took off after he exited the lion’s den, but he need God’s strength in order to remain pure.  We need His strength today.

3. To Restore: Isaiah 49:6. I don’t care how strong you are, you can never earn your salvation.  Only God can restore the broken relationship between Himself and humanity.  Like most guys I try to fix things myself, but this is one job that only God can do.
