Yes to All God’s Promises and More
By John Piper
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)
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, “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,
“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, “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, “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!
