Philippians 1:6

 

"Being confident in this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."

Philippians 1:6 (NKJ)

    This verse is such an awesome promise!
    It says that we can put absolute trust in the fact that God will keep working in us to make us stronger and to accomplish great things, and it also states that this work will be complete just in time. Which means that it's completely unnecessary to worry about running out of time, provided that we're following the Lord and working hard. And we don't have to feel discontent about our flaws all of the time either, because the Lord will keep helping us overcome them. And this is a promise we can really believe completely because the one making it is God.
    And our awesome God is always right! Amen? :)

Genesis 12:3

 

"'I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'"

Genesis 12:3 (NKJ)

    This promise of the Lord's is incredible for at least two major reasons.
    For one, it showcases a great promise made to a great nation--an ancient, enduring, blessed nation.
    And secondly, this verse also includes a promise made to the entire world. The part where it's said that "all the families of the earth shall be blessed," is a direct reference to Jesus Christ! Just as this promise conveys, He came through the descendants of Abraham (to whom God is speaking in this verse), and made eternal life available to anyone and everyone in the world.
    It's so awesome hearing prophecies about Christ as early as Genesis 12; don't you agree?
