"The Promise Keeper"

"Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one." Galatians 3:20

When God made promises to Abraham, He didn't use a mediator to do it. He alone made and fulfilled the promises. He didn't call upon a man or some law firm to draw up a contract, He officiated over it all. God Himself gave the promises, listed the conditions and set it all in motion. When it came time to bring mankind into the new covenant, He sent His own Son to be the mediator of it.

When God makes a promise, when He makes a covenant with someone, He knows how to establish it, enforce it and keep it to the end. If you are a child of God then you are in a covenant relationship with God. He has made promises to you and He is faithful to keep those promises. He is not a man that He should lie. He does not change His mind. He does not change what He has said. He Himself watches over it to fulfill it. He doesn't need anyone else to help keep Him accountable- He keeps Himself accountable-- always has and always will. So trust God's word, trust His promises. Heaven and earth will pass away, but His word will remain true forever.

Have a great day. God holds Himself accountable to the promises He has made, so you can trust Him.
