Promise-Fulfillment Progression in Christ

Words and promises carry meaning, function, purpose, mobility, transport, impetus, cohesion, tranquillity, platform, substance, light, and life.

A promise, stronger than a word, connects two points: the first-mentioning of the promise and the future moment of its fulfillment, all the way across the ever-advancing present.

God never breaks His word. Even more so, He never breaks His promises. They pull me through the times between the two points, even during times of confusion and futility when it seems like God has cast me off or isn't here with me like He once was.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:35-39 NKJV)
