GOD’s two key PROMISES to human beings: The BOW IN THE CLOUD and THE C R O S S (Genesis 9:13, 15) (John 3:15-18). “[IN HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, WHICH GOD], that cannot lie, [PROMISED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN]” (Titus 1:2).
“[FOR SINCE
THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD MEN HAVE NOT HEARD, NOR PERCEIVED BY THE EAR,
NEITHER HATH THE EYE SEEN], O God, beside thee, what [HE HATH PREPARED FOR HIM
THAT WAITETH FOR HIM]” (Isaiah 64:4).
“[WHEREBY
THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS, BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER, PERISHED]: But [THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, WHICH ARE NOW], by the same word are kept in store,
[RESERVED UNTO FIRE AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT] and perdition of ungodly men”
(2 Peter 3:6-7).
“[THE LORD
IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISE], as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance.
But the day
of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall
pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then
that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be
in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming
of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and
the elements shall melt with fervent heat?” (2 Peter 3:9-12).
“Nevertheless
we, according to his [PROMISE], look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such
things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and
blameless” (2 Peter 3:13-14).
“Keep
yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ
unto [ETERNAL LIFE]” (Jude 1:21).
“[FOR THE
PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which
are saved it is the [POWER OF GOD]” (1 Corinthians 1:19).
“[OUR SOUL
WAITETH] for the LORD: he is our help and our shield” (Psalm 33:20). “It is
good that a man should [BOTH HOPE AND QUIETLY WAIT] for the [SALVATION] of the
LORD” (Lamentation 3:26).
“The grace
of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy
Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14).
