Minister’s Corner By PASTOR ERIC STEPHENS Hill Grove Baptist Church The God who promises “Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20-21) The last few weeks, we have been reminded that God is the God of Peace and the God Who Cares. Today, we see He is the God Who Promises: “by the blood of the eternal covenant.” The foundation of our hope is God being God and keeping His word: His word that Jesus died in our place and paid our debt (see Isaiah 53:5-6; Colossians 2:13-14). His word that He would forgive the sins of all who repent and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (see Mark 1:15; Romans 10:9-11). His Word that He would give us new hearts (see Ezekiel 36:26; Jeremiah 31:3134; Luke 22:20). His Word that He would fill us with His Spirit (see John 14:16, 15:26; Luke 24:29; Acts 1:4-5). His Word that He would “never leave us nor forsake us” (Hebrews 13:5). Remember, God’s Word is not a seasonal word. It’s a word from God, a promise from God, that is eternal: “by the blood of the eternal covenant.” The blood of Jesus eternally and permanently satisfied God’s wrath and God’s demand for justice. Child of God, God is not going to pull the rug out from under you one day. He will not grow tired of you. You will not ever exhaust His grace. I know it’s hard to believe most days, but you will run out of sin and rebellion before His grace runs out. You will run out of unbelief and doubt before His grace towards you runs out. If you have repented of rebellion against God and trusted Jesus died for your sin, you have an eternal promise from God! All of this seems almost unbelievable. It almost sounds too good to be true. It sounds scandalous. And it is! But it’s true. It’s the gospel of Jesus Christ. The saved person cannot be separated from God’s love. The saved person will not fall away. God will keep His people. The Great Shepherd will keep His sheep. How do I know? He promised.
