The Characteristics of God's Promises (1)
Series: The Promises of God

2 Peter 1:4
It's good to be back together on Sunday nights, isn't it? Now don't get me wrong: I've enjoyed the break, but at the same time, I've looked forward to our getting back together to study God's word!
Now I can hear some of you thinking, ''Ahhh, he's missed us.'' Well, I've missed some of you! Ok, I've missed all of you because you greatly encourage me by your hunger for God's word. Your hunger for God's word increases my hunger and together we feed and grow together!
Now take God's word and turn with me to 2 Peter 1.4 as we begin a new series of messages under the heading: STANDING ON THE PROMISES. Over the next several weeks, we're going to learn more about what it means to stand on the promises of God.
Do you remember the hymn Standing on the Promises? The fourth verse says, ''Standing on the promises I cannot fall, Listening every moment to the Spirit's call, Resting in my Savior as my all in all, Standing on the promises of God.''
When it comes to the promises of God, how we need to learn more about Standing, Listening and Resting!

When you listen to the promises; that speaks of
FOLLOWING.
It's then you can rest on the promises; that speaks of FAITH!
Charles Spurgeon defined faith as, ''receiving the truth of Christ; first knowing it to be true, and then acting upon that belief.''
You take God at his word, including his promises, and then do what he says. When you do what God says to do, you're exercising bible faith!
Think of it this way: By FOCUSING on the promises we can then FOLLOW the promises and it's FAITH that makes it all happen! Got it?
Now to help us get started, I want you to hear how Peter describes the promises of God in 2 Peter 1.3b-4, ''as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of H ...
