Believing the Promises of God - in His Word

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed… Without weakening in his faith… Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised. ~ Romans 4 [selected 18-21]

JESUS - The GATE



I took this picture over a month ago at Lake Lenape in Mays Landing and put this Revelation verse with it. Then, today - I came to Isaiah 60. Oh - how I love God's Word!!

Isaiah 60 (selected)

The Glory of Zion

1 "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
3
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
11 Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night,
so that men may bring you the wealth of the nations— their kings led in triumphal procession.
13 "The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the pine, the fir and the cypress together,
to adorn the place of my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place of my feet.
19 The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.

Revelation 21

22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.

25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there.
26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
[all emphasis mine]
