“I am the

Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”

“Who has wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first; and I am the same with those who are last.

I am He.” (Isaiah 41:4)

God is the same to the last generation as he was to the first. He does not change.

Many ask whether God will do what He has promised.

But the real question is whether we still have the faith we once had.

If not, we need to get it back.

Israel questioned, “Can God?”

They should have exclaimed

“God can!” (Psalm 78:19)

They allowed circumstances to change their faith in the unchanging God.

(Malachi 3:6)

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending… the Almighty” (Rev. 1:8,11,17)

“Unlike man, God never lies.

Nor is he fickle like men are.

What he says, he does!

He keeps his promises!”

(Numbers 23:19)

How many of your

Alpha beginnings have Omega endings?

Do you finish as well as you begin?

The Lord Jesus did.

Jesus began and finished the work his Father gave him.

“I have glorified you on the earth. I have finished the work you gave me to do.”

(John 17:4)

His last words before dying were, “It is finished.”

Our job is to continue the work

Jesus began ! (Acts 1:1-2; John 14:12)

“ With God nothing shall be impossible ”

Gabriel said to Mary.

(Luke 1:37)

• But Jesus said to his disciples,

“ Nothing shall be impossible to you .” (Matthew 17:20)

• You believe the first two words of

Luke 1:37, but do you believe the last two words of Matthew 17:20?

GOD’S ALPHA-OMEGA

GUARANTEE

“I NEVER CHANGE”

“I AM THAT I AM” means:

“I WAS, AM, AND ALWAYS

WILL BE, THE ETERNAL”

You can count on God but can God count on you?

Next time you begin to doubt whether God will do what He has promised, remember,

He keeps His promises!

He is the Alpha of His promise to you and the Omega of its fulfillment – and Lord of everything in between!

Alpha and Omega are the same to God, who knows the end as well as the beginning.

(Acts 15:18)

He gives us faith to live between the Alpha promise and its Omega fulfillment.

(Mark 11:22)

The question is not

“Does God keep

His promises?”

The question is

“Do I trust God as much now as

I did when I first believed?”

If not, is it because the faith you had back when you began has been damaged by life?

The cure for this condition is to renew your Godgiven faith … that strong Alpha faith.

You can then set out to finish what you first started.
