No matter what, no matter where, no matter when, Jesus is there for you.  Therefore you must not fear or be anxious.

We have Jesus as a Surety, The Holy Spirit as a Guarantee of The Promises of God to us His children.

Having The Lord as our High Priest forever through The Oath of God, “by so much more Jesus has become a Surety of a Better Covenant.”  (Hebrews 7:22 NKJV).

“In Greek and Roman legal practice a guarantor bound himself to satisfy another’s debt should the debtor fail.  Such a commitment was personal, costly, and irrevocable.  Breach of that pledge implicated the guarantor’s property, reputation, and even freedom.  The Epistle to the Hebrews appropriates this well‐known legal category to illuminate Christ’s ministry: He voluntarily assumes full responsibility for the covenantal obligations of His people before God.”  (Topical Lexicon, Bible Hub).

“Now He Who has prepared us for this very thing is God, Who also has given us The Spirit as a Guarantee.”   2 Corinthians 5:5 NKJV. (See Ephesians 1:13-14 also.)

We are unfailingly encouraged and assured by our Lord:

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me……
……. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”   John 14:1,18 NKJV.

Jesus is ever faithful, never failing.

‘So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” ‘  Hebrews 13:6.

“God is not a man who lies, or a son of man who changes his mind! Does He speak and then not do It, or promise and not fulfill It?”   Numbers 23:19 TLV.

Have Faith in God (Mark 11:22).  Believe, pray and obey whatever He tells you; take whatever step He shows you.  And you will surely have the manifestation of answers to prayer.

Having Jesus as a Surety, The Holy Spirit as a Guarantee, The Promises are assured.

“For The Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who was preached among you by us — by me, Silvanus, and Timothy — was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes.  For all The Promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to The Glory of God through us.  Now He Who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, Who also has sealed us and given us The Spirit in our hearts as a Guarantee.”   2 Corinthians 1:19-22 NKJV.

“Therefore, having these Promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting Holiness in The Fear of God.”   2 Corinthians 7:1 NKJV.

Having Jesus as a Surety, The Holy Spirit as a Guarantee, let us believe, pray and obey as led by The Holy Spirit to obtain whatever He has promised us.

“God is faithful, by Whom you were called into The Fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”   1 Corinthians 1:9 NKJV.

“The LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.” 2 Timothy 4:22.
“Farewell” Acts 15:29.
~ Jacob Addison Awagah

Jacob, an apostle of JESUS CHRIST by The Will of GOD, according to The Promise of Life Which is in CHRIST JESUS, (2 Timothy 1:1).
Like John, I like to put my head to The Heart of JESUS so as to know and do His Will always. What’s in His Heart is what matters now and FOREVER. His Heart’s Desire is my only desire. My will is to do His Will.
As John was, I am the disciple whom JESUS loves. And like Paul, I am “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS” (Ephesians 3:1) for His Purpose forever: to obey Him always.
NB. Surely, the disciple whom JESUS loves and “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS”, like ALL The Promises of GOD, are available to every believer to obtain, just as John and Paul did.
“And having been perfected, He [JESUS] became The Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey Him,” Hebrews 5:9.
