Publisher's Synopsis
This book contains a series of short essays that discuss twenty-five of the important promises from the Lord that have been stated in the scriptures. Each of the essays is basically independent of the others. However, at the same time, they have also been ordered somewhat loosely from most important to least important based upon logical order. The Lord promises to love every person. He promises to be found but not indefinitely. He promises grace for salvation and for living. He promises goodness and mercy. He promises salvation that cannot be lost. He promises to NOT be bought. He promises to resist the proud. He promises the Comforter. He promises to give godly wisdom. He promises to give godly direction. He promises to comfort those that mourn. He promises to fill the seeker of righteousness. He promises to reveal truth to His own. He promises an eternal home. He promises eternal security in Him. He promises to always be near. He promises blessings to His own. He promises to provide. He promises to hear His people. He promises to give strength and peace. He promises to give confidence in troubled times. He promises to literally come again. He promises to judge evil. He promises to reign forever and ever. He promises to NEVER forsake Israel.
The important thing to realize about all of His promises, though, is that He can be trusted to bring to pass those things that He has promised to do. That having been said, the best evidence says that there really had been a Garden of Eden. There really had been one man and one woman that had given birth to the entire human race. There really had been the incarnation of the Son of God into the body of a man so that He really could pay the sin debt of all human beings with His own blood by His sacrificial death on the cross at Calvary. There really will be a final judgment. To ignore all of that is to invite eternal condemnation for oneself which would be a very terrible thing. The scriptures teach that the Lord loves everyone. They teach that He is longsuffering because He does not want even one person to die lost. But they also teach that most people are on the wide path that leads to destruction. Therefore, the sincere hope is that the reader of this text will be able to rejoice in all of the Lord's promises. It is also that those people that are NOT now in Christ will find something in the following pages to draw him or her to Him.
