In this our final lesson in the series “Standing on the Promises”, we want simply to understand why we can trust every exceedingly, precious promise that God made. We must realize that God Makes Promises in (2) two Ways His Promises Are – Unconditional and Conditional – In other words God Said If! Blessings “IF” you Obey Deut. 28:1 “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And Curses “IF” you Disobey, Deut. 28:15 “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:”
You see from this that we may misunderstand and become disappointed in God simply because we think He’s failed to keep His word. When all along the problem is our understanding, not His faithfulness. So, we must understand that many of the exceedingly great and precious promises of the Almighty God, are conditioned upon our obedience or disobedience.
