Bible Question: CAN SOME TELL ME ABOUT HOW MANY PROMISE THE BIBLE HOLD GIVE OR TAKE. |
Bible Answer: True, DarcyA, they are so many. Someone has said there are over 700. But you are also correct in saying that we need to define the term. Promises are everywhere in he Bible, but it is important to know who is making those promises, and to whom. It is also reasonable to say that the Bible is one promise. Or maybe we should say there are two: The Old Covenant and the New Covenant. Or perhaps we can say that there are 66, since each book of the Bible makes its own big promise. If there is only one promise, what would it be? I wonder. John says (1Jo 2:25) "this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life". But as you have noted, there are so many others. Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. |
