Jesus - The giver and keeper of promises

(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: In 2 Peter 3, the author warns of scoffers who have lost their faith in the promises of God. The author reminds us that the Lord does not delay his promises, but rather, he is patient with us and desires for all to come to repentance. The passage encourages us to hold onto hope in the promises of God, even when we face trials and tribulations. The author also reminds us that God is not a man to lie or repent, and that even if we have broken promises in the past, God's promises remain steadfast and true. We may not always see the fulfillment of these promises in our own time, but we can trust that God is faithful and will fulfill them in his own time.
The speaker talks about living by the promise of God and how it gives us a sense of fullness, confidence, and courage to face whatever comes our way. He emphasizes the importance of repentance as a habit in our daily lives and explains how it means changing direction when we realize that what we were doing was not bringing us satisfaction or meaning. He reminds us that our source of life is found in Jesus and that we should keep our gaze fixed on Him, even when our circumstances are contradictory to the promises we believe. The speaker concludes by urging us to seek peace in God and to take our eyes off our circumstances, recognizing that we have failed but that God can restore us and our relationships.

Jesus is the one who gives you and fulfills promises in your life. I would like you to go to the second letter of the apostle Peter in chapter 3. Last Sunday we heard that Jesus is the door and everyone who enters through Him will find salvation, they will go in and out, and pastures to be able to nourish their lives, and today we are going to be reflecting on that Jesus who is the giver and keeper of promises in the midst of our lives. Last Sunday we spoke, He is the door, through Him we enter, and when we enter we also receive promises, the promise of salvation, the promise of being able to go in and out, that He is with us in all the steps of our lives, and also to be able to find provision for our needs, that is a promise that the Lord Jesus gives us who have decided to live in the light of Him, in the light of His principles, in the light of His love.
Second Peter chapter 3, and it says: "Knowing this that mockers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts and saying, where is the promise of his advent? For from the day our fathers slept, everything remained so As on the day of creation, these are voluntarily unaware that the ancient time was made by the Word of God, the heavens and also the earth, which comes from water and by water subsists, for which reason the world of then perished drowned in water, but the heavens and the earth that exist now are reserved by the same Word, kept for the fire on the day of judgment, and of the perdition of impious men, but, beloved, do not ignore this, that for the Lord a One day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day. The Lord does not delay his promise." Let me tell you this, the Lord does not delay his promise, "according to some, it is delayed, but he is patient with us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should proceed to repentance."
