The Promise

The Promise

1Ti 4:8  For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 

Promise from the Greek;

G1860 ἐπαγγελία From G1861; an announcement (for information, assent or pledge; especially a divine assurance of good).

The promise of life and divine assurance of good.

Heb 9:15  And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 

Titus 1:2  In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

You knew of this promise from within your spiritual self, prior to your worlds eternal bodies.  

2Ti 1:9  Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 

2Ti 1:1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 

2Peter 3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Slack, slackness in the Greek;

G1022 βραδύτης From G1021; tardiness: – slackness. G1021 βραδύς Of uncertain affinity; slow; figuratively dull: – slow.

Longsuffering in the Greek;

G3114 μακροθυμέω From the same as G3116; to be long spirited, that is, (objectively) forbearing or (subjectively) patient: – bear (suffer) long, be longsuffering, have (long) patience, be patient, patiently endure.

The slackness of man being “slow”, and God does not count slackness because of his longsuffering toward souls so that not any will perish.

1John 2:25  And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 

(See Also; Rom 2:7, 5:17, 5:21, John 14-17, 3:36, 4:14, 5:24, 5:39-40, 6:27, 6:32-33, 6:40, 6:68, 10:28, 17:2, 1Peter 1:3-4, 1John 5:11-12)

The promise, inheritance, grace, mercy, all being the love of God, is eternal. What is not eternal is a soul wanting to live life in his own deaths. A freewill choice. Or quite possibly according to Hebrews 9:15 stated above, “they which are called”. All at some point in eternity, all will be called. Eternal death is not in the Bible. Death can only be referenced from a soul within a body that chooses death in experiences throughout eternal lives.
