14 Promises from John 14

I took on the challenge, or rather the delight, to try find and meditate on all the promises God makes to His people in His Word. Well, trying would just be the beginning of me finding out that there are too many thousands of promises made.

A friend of mine reminded me of the flacidity of ones heart and mind in not being captivated by atleast five of His promises. I think I would be disregarding the ineffable beauty of the detail in which the Bible is written.

With there being too many promises to discover, I realised that this would be life long discovery.

14 Promises from John 14:

1) Jesus has prepared a place for me in His Father's house. v2

2) Jesus come again to fetch me to be with Him. v3

3) If I go to Him He will take me to the Father. v6

4) I get to know Jesus He will get to know/see His Father. v7

5) If I believe in Jesus I will get to do the things He did and greater things. v12

6) If I ask anything in Jesus' Name He will do it. v14

7) If I love Jesus and keep His commandments, He will pray to His Father to give me a Helper, the Holy Spirit, that will dwell with me and be in me. v17

8) Jesus will not leave me an orphan, He will come to me. v18

9) I will see Jesus because He lives and I will live as well. v19

10) I will know that Jesus is in His Father, I am in Him and Jesus in me. v20

11) If I have/keep Jesus' commandments and therefore love Him, I will be loved by the Father and Him and, He will manifest/show Himself to me. v21

12) If I love Jesus and keep His word, the Father will love me, come to me and make His home with me. v23

13) The Father will send, in Jesus', the Holy Spirit to help me, to teach me all things, to remind me of things Jesus said. v26

14) Jesus has left/given me peace. v27

What a blessing.. ..
