TEN PROMISES FROM GOD<\/strong> <\/strong>TO HIS TROUBLED SAINTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isaiah 43:1-7<\/p>\n

Child of God, your afflictions in this world may be many, heavy, and long, but they will never destroy, or even harm you. Therefore the Lord your God says, \u201cFear Not.\u201d Then He gives you these ten, blessed promises to silence your fears.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have redeemed thee!\u201d Christ has redeemed you by the price of His blood and the power of His Grace. If He has redeemed you, nothing and no one can harm you.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cI have called thee by thy name!\u201d All whom He has redeemed are called, called with an effectual, irresistible, personal call. This is efficacious Grace!<\/p>\n

3. \u201cThou art mine!\u201d What a blessed word of Grace! You belong to God as His peculiar possession, His new creation. That means you are under His protection and provision.<\/p>\n

4. \u201cI will be with thee!\u201d Wherever God by His providence puts you, He will be with you in sympathy and in power to take care of you.<\/p>\n

5. \u201cI am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel!\u201d The Almighty God, the Holy One, who is always faithful and true, is as much your property as you are His property, because He has given Himself to you.<\/p>\n

6. \u201cI am thy Saviour!\u201d When He says, \u201cI gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee,\u201d our Lord is saying, I have bought you at such a price that I cannot afford to lose you.\u201d<\/p>\n

7. \u201cThou art Precious in my sight!\u201d You are God\u2019s treasure, His jewel. Though despised by men, if you are a believer, you are precious to God!<\/p>\n

8. \u201cThou hast been honorable?\u201d You are not honorable by nature, nor by any of your deeds, but God by His Grace has made you honorable. He has washed away your sin by the blood of Christ and robed you with His perfect righteousness.<\/p>\n

9. \u201cI have loved thee!\u201d Let men talk all they please about a useless, universal love, this is special love! God so loves His own elect that He will sacrifice men and nations for them!<\/p>\n

10. \u201cI have created (you) for my Glory!\u201d The very Glory of the triune God is wrapped up in the Salvation of His people. He will either save everyone of the chosen seed, all who are called by His name, and save them from all evil, or He will lose His Glory; and that cannot be!\u00a0 Don Fortner<\/p>\n
