As a teacher, I find it quite significant that the apostle Peter, in the opening and closing statements of
one chapter of his second epistle that is dedicated to adding to the faith of the believer,
singles out both PROMISES and PROPHECY as vital keys to increasing faith:

THE KEYS TO A FOCUSED FAITH IN CHRIST:
THE

OF GOD… OF GOD…

“THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST… “…WHO HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS…
ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD IN HIM WORSHIP GOD!

ARE YES, AND IN HIM AMEN, FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS
TO THE GLORY OF GOD THROUGH US.” IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.”

2 Cor. 1:20 Rev. 19:10

The above passages clearly reveal that if we focus our faith upon the promises of God and the
prophecy of God, our focus will in essence be centered upon the person of Jesus Christ. The promises
of God find their fulfillment by means of who Christ is, and the essence of the contents of prophecy
testify of who Jesus Christ is. To study the promises of God and the prophecy of God is to study Jesus
Christ in a specific and detailed manner. Without such faith it is impossible to please God. Why so?
Because God has testified of His Son:

“AS YOU HAVE THEREFORE RECEIVED CHRIST JESUS THE LORD,
SO WALK IN HIM, ROOTED AND BUILT UP IN HIM AND ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH…

FOR IN HIM DWELLS ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY;
AND YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHO IS THE HEAD OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER.”

Col. 2:6-10
