}ALL OF GOD’S PROMISES
WERE FULFILLED.
}1) Sure, 2) Full of
Hope for the Righteous, and 3) Conditional if you are not under grace.
}I want to encourage
the brethren to put their trust in the promises of God. Not on man or any human
government.
}If you depend on any
human being for your promises to be fulfilled you will have a back lash.

}Acts 13 29-33
}29 Now when they had fulfilled all that was written
concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree
and laid Him in a tomb. 30 But God raised Him
from the dead. 31 He was
seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who
are His witnesses to the people. 32 And we declare to you glad tidings—that promise which

}God cannot lie
Hebrews 6:13-18 “For
when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he
swear by himself, Saying, Surely
blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after
he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men verily swear by the
greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein
God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability
of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which
it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have
fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:”

His promises to men.
