02/21/23 THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK

A song says, "All of the promises in the Book are mine." There is a certain amount of truth in this statement, along with false teaching. The salvific promises made to Abraham, the virgin Mary and other individuals or groups ultimately become part of God's redemptive work and therefore we are the recipients of those promises. But God has not promised to make a great nation of us personally, as He did to Abraham, and He has not promised other women that they would have a virgin born child.

False doctrines of Reformed, Calvinistic, Covenental Theology rob Christians of some of God's promises to Christians.

False doctrines of Hyper Charismatics and "Prosperity Gospel" Theology claim promises in the Bible which were never intended to be applied to Christians.

We must know and understand God's word, in order not to be robbed of our inheritance, or to be misled by false hopes, which God never gave to us.
