The Lord describes the life that is lived on the promises of God as a land of milk and honey. Milk is good for the body and honey is good for the soul. The life that God designed for each one of us is sweeter than honey and is good for us. If we knew the life that the Lord wants to give to us then we would choose it ourselves. God is good and God is love. His plans for us are for our best and for our good.
For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
The Lord loves the world and everyone in it. He bought the entire world so that He might be restored to a love relationship with each person. God made us in His image and He wants to bless us. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will live forever in His love.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16
Not only did God give His Son to die for us, to take the punishment for our sin and to redeem us but He gave His Son so that in Christ we might have everything else that is good.
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Romans 8:32
Those who have received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior not only have received eternal life and become a child of God but they also have become heirs of the promises of God.
In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast… Hebrews 6:17-19a
