The thought behind the quote
In the book of Hebrews, the ninth chapter, we are told about how under the old covenant, God established a place called the Tabernacle and the way to worship Him.
Everything in the Old Testament is a prefigure, a type, and a shadow of the New Testament and points to our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. One time a year, the High Priest would take the blood of a sacrificial lamb for the atonement of the sins of the children of Israel.
Read the full thought
When Jesus came from heaven to earth, He not only was the ONCE AND FOR ALL, perfect sacrifice for the sins of humanity, but He is the mediator between God and man. Because of His death, burial, and resurrection, we who believe are heirs of Christ and are called to receive an eternal inheritance. God has given us these precious promises as an assurance that we will receive ALL of the eternal inheritance that Jesus purchased for us.

The Promises of God are given to us not just for ourselves, but that through ourselves the Kingdom of God can be advanced. With every promise of God there are PROBLEMS to be solved, struggles to be overcome, kings/enemies to be defeated, and impossibilities to be made possible. Within every promise is a revelation of the PROCESS of realization. Every promise that God gives has a grace that makes receiving and living in the promise, supernaturally POSSIBLE. The ultimate purpose for every promise God gives us is to give us POWER to advance His kingdom in the earth!
