The Bible is full of instructions for us to live by. First comes the instruction for us then it is followed by a promise. For example in Ephesians 6:2-3 the Bible says to honor your mother and father that is your instruction. The whole Scripture is honor your mother and father that it may be well with you and that you shall live long on the earth. So do the instruction and get the promise.

Luke 6:38 says one word of instruction Give. The promise that follows is and it shall be given onto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will man give unto you.

Matt. 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; (instruction) and everything you need will be added to you. (promise)

Matt. 7:7 "Ask (instruction) and it shall be given to you; (promise) seek (instruction) and you shall find; (promise) knock (instruction) and it shall be opened to you. (promise)

John 3:3 instruction says you must be born again followed by the promise that if you are born again you can enter into heaven.

So next time you read the Word and think it is just full of instructions or rules that you should do don't forget the promise that follows that instruction. Look them up for yourself. Read the instruction and believe for the promise.

Be Blessed.
