There are qualifications that must be met for all the promises of God.
Do you qualify?
If you are in Christ Jesus, you qualify for all of God’s promises.
2Cor: 1:19-20: For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 20: For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. (The stipulation is that the person abide in Him.)
2Cor: 5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2Cor: 5:21: For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Gal: 3:29: And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
How does one abide in Him?
Jn: 15:4: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Jn: 15:6: If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
