New Years resolutions are being made, promises to loose weight, give up smoking or spend more time with your family. All these are good, but I wonder how many people will actually keep these promises? People make promises, but people also break promises. Not God, He always keeps His promises. One of the best promises can be found in 1 John 2:25 "And This is the promise that He has promised us - eternal life." Eternal: infinite time; future life. It boggles the mind to think of "forever", at least it boggles my mind, but I am comforted to know that my Lord and Savior will be there, and that's all I need to know. Revelation 21:23 "The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light." There will no darkness there... which means no hunger, no senseless killing of innocent lives (abortion), no pornography, no lies, no promises being broken, NO SIN. A perfect city, with a perfect Savior, A prefect home, perfect temperature, perfect gardens that don't need to be watered, promise kept by God, absolutely perfect.
(See Revelation 22:1-5) Who can make a better promise then that?! A promise that will be kept, a promise that gives us hope for a better tomorrow... Hebrews 11:1"These all died in faith, not having received the promises, (of the Messiah) but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.....v16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He prepared a city for them"
(Also see John 14:1-4) This is our resolution made by God to us through His son, Jesus. So whether or not you make a personally New Years resolution or not, you can have hope in the New Year and all the years till Jesus comes back again, that where He is you will be too!
