His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises. 2 Peter 1:3-4 For the next four weeks, we are going to look at what Jesus Christ is willing to do for us. Seven times in the Bible, Jesus specifically said He will do something for us. I will give you rest. I will never cast you out. I will make you fishers of men. I will confess you before My Father in heaven. I will give you the Holy Spirit. I will take you to be with Me. I will that you will see My glory. These seven commitments that Jesus makes to us are rock-solid promises. When Jesus Christ makes a commitment, you can be certain He will keep it. Make it your aim to pursue one of these as you read this month’s devotional: If you are a Christian today, take a step back and see the scope of all that is yours in Christ. See the big picture, find joy in it, and thank God for it. If you are not yet committed to Christ, perhaps you have been exploring these things, you have been drawn by them, and that is why you are reading this, but they are not yet yours. Discover all that Jesus Christ offers to you, and how you can receive it from Him. Consider praying this prayer: Heavenly Father, help me cross the line from exploring to receiving, from investigating to believing, from observing to following. May all that Jesus is willing to do, become what He actually does in my life.
