Title: Who Will Be Promised?

(36) Who will receive the promise?

 

(Heb 6:17-20)

 

God's promises are not for everyone. In verse 17, God says that he has promised by an oath to fully demonstrate his unchanging will to those who will inherit the promise. Because God's promises are made to those who will inherit them, they apply only to those who will receive them.

 

1. Those who will receive the promises of God

 

(1) Those who are born after the Holy Spirit are those who will receive God's promises. Abraham had two sons. Isaac and Ishmael. However, it was Isaac, not Ishmael, who was the first to receive God's promise as an inheritance. The reason is that Ishmael was not born according to God's promise. When God promised Abraham an heir, he would give him Isaac.

 

Galatians 4:28 says this. “Brothers, like Isaac, you are the children of the promise, but just as at that time he who was born after the flesh persecuted him who was born after the Spirit, so it is now.” This verse takes the case of Isaac and Ishmael as an example, and it is said that Ishmael was born after the flesh, and Isaac was born after the Spirit.

 

Then who are those who are born after the Holy Spirit? In the words of the Lord to Nicodemus, “Unless a man is born again of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Those who have been born again of the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus are those who have been born of the Holy Spirit, and these are the ones who will receive God's promises.

 

(2) Only those who can serve the living God by being purified by the blood of Christ will inherit God's promises. Please see Hebrews 9:14-15. ‘How much more can the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? that he died so that those who were called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance.' He purifies us by the blood of Christ so that we may serve God through Jesus Christ.

 

(3) If we are to become a people who receive God's inheritance as a promise, we must be children of the promise like Isaac. Galatians 4 says, “Brothers, like Isaac, you are the children of the promise.”

 

(4) If we are to receive the promise of God's inheritance, we must be able to suffer with Christ. Romans 8:17 says, “If children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, for we must suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.” Just as it is impossible to imagine the glory of the Lord without the cross, there is no such thing as the glory of a Christian without suffering. How can a person who does not want to bear the cross for the Lord be able to share in glory with the Lord?

 

(5) And those who will receive God's inheritance as a promise must know how to wait for God's promise with patience. Hebrews 10:36 says, “You need patience, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.”

 

When we look at God's promises, we must always consider the following three conditions. It is a fact that God's promises are never slow. If the answer is delayed, we forget God's promises, but God always fulfills them when He will. No response is slow, but no response early. God responds when it is most appropriate, when it is most beneficial to us.

 

God's promises come after perseverance. When Christians do not know these laws of God, they easily forsake God. Those who think God's promises are too slow, those who cannot wait patiently for God's promises in faith, are not even qualified to receive God's promises.

 

God's promises are to be received after doing God's will. He said that you need patience so that you may receive the promise after you have done the will of God. There are many people who try to receive God's promises while abandoning God's will and doing only their own will.

 

So, what is God's promise to us? This promise flows clearly like a strong vein in the Bible. God has promised eternal life to those who see and believe in His Son. The promise God made with his oath confirmed his love for us by having his Son die on the cross. The sure proof that God has given us eternal life is that God testified about His Son.

 

Apart from the promises of God, the root of faith cannot be established. The question of whether you have faith is directly related to whether you believe in God's promises. Only those who believe in God's promises can endure to the end even in the midst of trials.

 

Conclusion: Are we clearly born after the Spirit? Then we are the people who have received the promise of God's inheritance. Let's look at that high place. Let us look to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Let's believe in the covenant that God promised with an oath, trust in God, make His promise our hope, and become a victor who runs to the end.
