Key Thought
While heaven and earth will pass away, Jesus’ words—his promise to return along with all of his other promises—will be fulfilled. We can count on it because he is faithful and because we can see the track record of God in keeping his promises in the Old Testament. Jesus’ words are sure and can be trusted!
Prayer
Father, in a world of so many words that are used to “spin” so many answers and aid in so much communicational manipulation, I thank you for Jesus’ promises that are sure and trustworthy. Help me as I seek to build my life on your Son’s promises. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

You believe in God through Christ. God raised Christ from death. Then God gave glory to him. So your faith and your hope are in God. Now you have made yourselves pure by obeying the truth. Now you can have true love for your brothers and sisters. So love each other deeply—with all your heart. You have been born again. This new life did not come from something that dies. It came from something that cannot die. You were born again through God’s living message that continues forever. The Scripture says, “People {don’t live forever; they} are all like grass, and all their glory is like a wild flower. The grass dies, and the flower falls. But the word of God will live forever.” And this is the word (teaching) that was told to you.

The “Yes” to all of God’s promises is in Christ. And that is why we say “Amen ” through Christ to the glory of God. And God is the One who makes you and us strong in Christ. God gave us his special blessing. He put his mark on us to show that we are his. And he put his Spirit in our hearts to be a guarantee—{a proof that he will give us what he promised}.
— 2 Corinthians 1:20-22
What we tell you now is the Lord’s own message. We who are living now might still be living when the Lord comes again. We who are living at that time will be with the Lord, but not before those people who have already died.
— 1 Thessalonians 4:15
