“I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” 2 Corinthians 6:16b (NIV)
Many promises were given by God to His people Israel and are recorded in the Old Testament. Even through we may not particularly belong to this race of people, the promises were also given to all who believe and have asked Jesus to be their Savior. We are part of God's family and he has adopted us as his children. Our verse today is an occasion in the New Testament where that promise is claimed by Paul the apostle in his letter to the Corinthian Christians. Paul knew that the verse, which was given by God first in Leviticus and then again through the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel, was for all who believed. Yes friends, if you are a believer in Jesus this promise is given to you. We can rejoice knowing that God lives with us and walks among us and that He alone is our God. Today, let's embrace the truth that we are His people and joyfully live in this promise no matter what circumstances we face. He IS with us - always.
