Yes to All God’s Promises and More

A devotional by John Piper for reading on August 30th

All the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. ( 2 Corinthians 1:20 20 For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us. )

Being “in Christ Jesus” is a stupendous reality. It is breathtaking what it means to be in Christ. United to Christ. Bound to Christ.

If you are “in Christ” listen to what it means for you:

  • In Christ Jesus you have been seated in the heavenly places even while he lived on earth. Ephesians 2:6 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly `places', in Christ Jesus: , “God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
  • In Christ Jesus all the promises of God are Yes for you. Second Corinthians 1:20, “All the promises of God find their Yes in Christ.”
  • In Christ Jesus you are being sanctified and made holy. First Corinthians 1:2, “To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus.”
  • In Christ Jesus everything you really needed will be supplied. Philippians 4:19 19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. , “My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
  • In Christ Jesus the peace of God will guard your heart and mind. Philippians 4:7 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. , “The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
  • In Christ Jesus you have eternal life. Romans 6:23 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. , “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
  • And in Christ Jesus you will be raised from the dead at the coming of the Lord. First Corinthians 15:22, “For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.” All those united to Adam in the first humanity die. All those united to Christ in the new humanity rise to live again!
