13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, 14 saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.” 15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.
16 Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. 17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:13-20
When you hear the word nature what do you think of? The trees, the mountains, the lakes, the oceans, the beauty God created. Or, do you think of your own sinful nature that you have in your life. Why not look at God's nature, it is quite an amazing thing to look at if you take the time. God doesn't lie as the scripture clearly states, so what does that mean to us? We have the hope of eternal life that He has promised to reward those who follow Him and leave their previous lives behind. What else does He promise? He will not forget the work and the love you show to others. Now, the hard question, can you push back against the sinful nature and look to God's promises for a future with Him? I have the Hope and am greatly encouraged and I hope you feel the same.
Have a great weekend.
