The
promises of God are given in Ezekiel 16 - “I will remember the
covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will
establish an everlasting covenant with you ... So I will establish My
covenant with you, and you will know that I am the Lord” (Ezekiel 16:60,62).
These promises are fulfilled in “Christ ... the Mediator of a new
covenant.” Through Him, we “receive the promised eternal inheritance.”
Through His death “as a ransom”, we are “set ... free from the sins
committed under the first covenant” (Hebrews 9:15). “Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger” (Proverbs 27:13)
- Through faith in Christ, we receive the garment of His perfect
righteousness. Trusting in Him, we are no longer strangers to God. We
are secure in His salvation.
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
