6. GOD WANTS GOOD THINGS FOR ME “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
7. I AM NOT ALONE “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5
8. GOD WANTS TO HEAR MY REQUESTS “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock Our whole faith and the power behind everything we believe
and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks
and teach are wrapped up in the fact that Jesus died, and then
receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks,
rose from the grave. Without a resurrection, Jesus would have
the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8

9. ONE DAY ALL THINGS WILL BE MADE RIGHT
But, Easter did happen and because of that we can place our

trust in God’s promises. Jesus overcame death and established

Himself as having authority over all things. That means,
John 14:3
when Jesus makes a promise, we can believe Him. Here are 10 promises that are true because the resurrection did happen:

rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” John 3:36
2. I DON’T HAVE TO BE A SLAVE TO SIN
All of these promises may seem hard to believe. The good news is that the one who promised, has proven Himself trustworthy. Every Easter we are reminded that nothing is too big for God
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then,
to handle, and nothing can keep Him from us. The greatest

promise of all: even though we should be eternally separated

3. I AM A NEW CREATION
the gap between us and God. Jesus chose to reconcile all of us who believe and He was willing to face death and suffering
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:
to do so. This Easter let’s celebrate like we have a God that
The old has gone, the new is here!” 1 Corinthians 5:17
refused to leave us on our own. He is a God of great promises,
4. I DON’T HAVE TO FEAR “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18
5. I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7
