When European settlers came to North America, they didn’t come to an unsettled land. Millions of indigenous people were already there. Many of the newcomers treated these people fairly. Many did not. Many of the native people reached out in friendship. Many did not. But as the government of the United States became stronger, promises were broken to the native people. God is not like that. He never breaks a promise. He’s always good, right and holy. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever.

A merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God. Hebrews 2:17

Jesus came to Earth to reconcile all people to God (Revelation 5:9, Romans 14:11). God the Father’s desire is to be in loving fellowship with His creation. That’s why He sent His Son and then sent His Holy Spirit (John 3:16, Luke 11:13). The promise is to all people who believe. “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12)

Unlike humans, God never breaks promises. Come to the merciful and faithful high priest, receive His help and forgiveness, and pray for the leaders of this nation to treat all people with fairness and justice.
