“Exceeding Great Promises”

“That through these [the promises] ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.” 2 Peter 1:4.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16.

“Jehovah appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love.” Jer. 31:3.

“Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger forever, because He delighteth in loving-kindness. He will again have compassion upon us; He will tread our iniquities underfoot; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.” Micah 7:18, 19.

“For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thine offspring: and they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.” Isa. 44:3, 4.

“I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for Mine anger is turned away from him. I will be as the dew unto Israel; He shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon. They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine.” Hosea 14:4-7.
