Jehovah Our Covenant God

Q: What does the Bible say about God's promises to His people?

The Bible teaches that God makes sovereign promises to His people, assuring them of His grace and faithfulness. In Exodus 6:6-8, God reveals seven promises to the children of Israel, highlighting His commitment and unwavering faithfulness as Jehovah, the covenant God. These promises include deliverance from bondage, redemption, and the assurance of a prosperous inheritance. This reflects the unbreakable nature of God's promises throughout generations, demonstrating that God works according to His sovereign purpose and good pleasure, ensuring His people will ultimately see the fulfillment of His word as they trust in Him. The culmination of these promises can be fully appreciated in the light of Christ's completed work, wherein believers receive not only the benefits of God's promises but also the richness of His grace.

Q: How do we know God's grace is evident in our trials?

God's grace is often revealed through our trials, as He prepares us for growth and deeper understanding. The experiences of the children of Israel teach us that trials serve a sovereign purpose in the life of a believer. As seen in the story of Moses and Israel, the harsh opposition they faced from Pharaoh was not without reason; it was a means through which God shaped their understanding of His power and grace. In Romans 8:25-28, Paul reassures believers that hope is cultivated through patience in the face of suffering. Trials create an environment where God's grace can be experienced profoundly. Believers learn to rely on the Holy Spirit's intercession, thereby developing a deeper faith and assurance in God's ultimate plan, which is to work all things for good to those who love Him. Thus, hardship becomes an instrument for showcasing God's grace in our lives.

Q: Why is understanding God's covenant name important for Christians?

Understanding God's covenant name, Jehovah, emphasizes His faithful relationship with His people. God's revelation of His name as Jehovah in Exodus 6 signifies a deeper understanding of His covenant relationship with His chosen people. Unlike His past revelations as El Shaddai (God Almighty), the name Jehovah illustrates God's commitment to His people through covenant promises. This understanding is crucial for Christians as it underscores the special relationship believers have with God through Christ, who fulfills these covenant promises. In Hebrews 11:13, we see that the patriarchs lived in faith, not having received what was promised, but Christians now stand on the other side of the promise fulfilled in Jesus. Thus, knowing God as Jehovah assures believers of His steadfast love and unchanging nature as they navigate their faith journey.

Q: What does redemption mean in the context of God's promises?

Redemption signifies being purchased by God, emphasizing His grace in saving His people. In Exodus 6:6, God promises, 'I will redeem you with a stretched out arm,' which fundamentally speaks to the means of salvation and divine grace that God extends to His people. Redemption in the Reformed tradition highlights how believers are not bought with corruptible things but rather through the precious blood of Christ. This act of redemption showcases God's justice – fulfilling the requirements of the law while extending grace to sinners who believe. Therefore, understanding redemption is pivotal for Christians as it accentuates God's multidimensional work of saving, grace-filled engagement with His people, reaffirming the certainty and security of their standing before Him through Christ.

Let's turn to Exodus chapter 6. Exodus 6. Before we get into this chapter, it's good for us to remember that the Lord has commissioned Moses first to preach the gospel to his people. And the way that we know the people of God is that They'll rejoice in the Word. The people of God, when they hear the Word of God, they rejoice in it. And it comes to them as a savor of life unto life. And then Moses is commissioned to also preach the Word to the world. And he does this in preaching to Pharaoh. Pharaoh is the federal head of all of Egypt there. And it's a picture of this word going forth to the world.

And the way that you know that they have the spirit of the world and not the spirit of Christ, not the grace of God in them, but is that when they hear the word, they reject it. It does nothing for them. It means nothing to them. It comes to them as a savor of death unto death.

But even in this commission, neither Moses nor the people of Israel at this time, they really have little to no understanding of the way of God, the way of the Lord, and how the Lord works his will and his way, the way he accomplishes that will and purpose in the hearts of men.

And so they hear the word, they rejoice for a time, but then there's cruel opposition, there's cruel persecution that comes against them, and it's being inflicted on them by Pharaoh. because of that word, that word they rejoiced in, Pharaoh didn't rejoice in it, and he's afflicting the people of God now. And so they're going to learn how the Lord works in his people and how he works his will in all the people. Not just his people, but all the people in the world. Now, you think about this.

Why don't they understand the way of the Lord? Well, Israel's in bondage in Egypt. We don't even know whether they're worshiping God or how or to what degree they're worshiping the Lord. Moses himself has been dwelling in a desert with just his Midianite family. He's not with the people of God. Pharaoh also, he's not ripe for these things.

He's also being prepared for what's to come. The people of Israel are being prepared for what the Lord's about to do for his people. And even Moses as a pastor is being prepared, as a shepherd, he's being prepared. to lead the people in the wilderness. And so the Lord is orchestrating all these things for thousands of people, for millions of people, today for billions of people in the world. The Lord is moving in the hearts of all people to accomplish His will in the earth and to do so according to His sovereign good pleasure.

Paul, speaking of this, writing of this, says in Romans 8, 25 through 28, he says, but if we hope, right, you hear the word and you have the hope formed in you that believe Christ, if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. All right, the Lord is teaching us patience and he's adding to patience experience and to experience hope. and hope maketh not ashamed. Likewise, Paul writes, the spirit also helpeth our infirmities, for we know not what we should pray for as we are. But the spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

And so the Lord, who searches the hearts, works these things in his people. He's revealing his good purpose and pleasure in us and for us. And so this purpose, that God has for his people is why the Lord is very gracious to Moses, who's been commissioned of the Lord to preach the word, and now he's getting blowback for preaching that word.

Pharaoh doesn't agree to release the people, and the people who once rejoiced in the word have come to him and accused him of doing evil to the people, right? They're cursing him. And so we come to Exodus 5, just before we get to 6, look at the end of chapter 5, verses 22 and 23. Moses, hearing this, getting this blowback for preaching the word, he returned to the Lord and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil and treated this people?

Why is it that thou hast sent me? You sent me, and everything's just going wrong. Everything's not going right. It's not going simple. You haven't delivered the people like you said you were going to deliver them. For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people. Neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.

Now, it's right for Moses to supplicate the Lord in this matter. Well, to supplicate the Lord, to go to the Lord and pray and ask the Lord, Lord help to spread these things before the Lord, this trouble and difficulty he's having, even though his tone, though, his tone isn't right. He's going to the Lord in a bad spirit, in a bad attitude.

And yet, the Lord's response to Moses is very gracious. He's very gracious and long-suffering with Moses. Instead of chastening Moses for speaking to him like this, he encourages Moses. Instead of casting Moses off and finding somebody new, he renews his commission to Moses. And instead of killing Moses, he reveals himself to Moses in grace and in mercy. And that is going to help Moses as he then is growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord and Savior, as he's ministering the things of grace to the people of God.

It's helping him. It's for his good. It's for their good. They're learning how to endure difficulties and how to go through setbacks and hardships and persecutions and trials. And then in the end, Moses In the wilderness, he's going to lead the people in a spirit of grace and in a spirit of meekness, which is good. It's good for the people to have that.

So now we come to chapter 6, Exodus 6. So Moses has just laid into the Lord, and the Lord was very gracious to him. very patient with him, and the Lord says unto Moses, verse 1, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. And so, the Lord's answer to Moses' cry is to show him, you've not heard wrong. The Lord has not made a mistake in what he said. And he assures Moses, Pharaoh is going to let the people go. And not only is he going to let the people go, he's going to drive them out. He's going to want them to go. He's going to forcefully drive them out of his land.

And the scriptures, reflecting back on this, talking about this later on in Romans chapter 9, Paul wrote, for the same purpose God raised Pharaoh up, to show his power in him. Now, he's doing that for Pharaoh, he's preparing Pharaoh to drive the people out, and at the same time, he's preparing the people of God.

He's preparing the people of God in the same manner, he's preparing their hearts so that when he reveals himself to them, they see the grace and the power and the will of God, the perfections of God in this. They're going to grow in their understanding of the true and living God also. And so, in that light, we consider also what Paul wrote in Romans 9, 22 and 23. What if God, he says, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction? God is very patient with the vessels of wrath in the world. and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy which he had aforeprepared for or unto glory. And so that's what we turn our attention to now as we go through. We're not going through the whole chapter, but through verse 8. We see now how God is making known His riches, the riches of His glory, on the vessels of mercy, prepared unto glory.

That's what the Lord is doing for you in this life. He's preparing you for His glory. He's bearing long with the wicked of this world, and in so doing, He's teaching you good things. He's giving you a good understanding of the true and living God. This is how the Lord makes known to you, His people, His riches. This is how He reveals Himself to you in His Word, right? Because He testifies of these things in His Word. Now He's going to make them known to you in spirit and in truth. You're going to understand these things.

And so, In keeping with the Lord, giving light to his people, look at verses 2 and 3, Exodus 6, 2 and 3. And God spake unto Moses and said unto him, I am the Lord. And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob by the name of God Almighty. In other words, he revealed himself to them as El Shaddai, God Almighty. I can do all things. Anything I say, I can bring it to pass. I can do it, El Shaddai.

But by my name, Jehovah, was I not known unto them. If you have a King James version, you'll notice that in verse two there at the end when he says, I am the Lord, that L-O-R-D is all capital. That word is that word Jehovah. That's later interpreted Jehovah in verse three there. And so he's saying, I revealed myself as El Shaddai. I did not reveal myself to them as Jehovah.

But when you go into Genesis, you'll read the word Lord, capital L-O-R-D, many times. I think it's in there over 140 times as Jehovah in Genesis when God was revealing himself to Abram. In fact, I'll give you one verse, chapter 13, verse 4. This is speaking of Bethel, the house of God. And Abram returned to the place of the altar which he had made there at the first, and there Abram called on the name of the Lord, capital L-O-R-D, the name of Jehovah.

Now, Abram and Isaac and Jacob, it would seem that they knew him by that name, Jehovah. So what does the Lord mean when he says, by my name Jehovah was I not known to them? Well, in one sense, it is very possible that Moses, because he's the one who wrote Genesis and Exodus and Leviticus and Numbers and Deuteronomy, it's possible that Moses, when he was dictating this to Joshua, that he said Jehovah. and therefore it was just written in there that he was just worshipping Jehovah. It is possible that that's what happened there, but it's also possible that the understanding that we have concerning Jehovah as the God of the Covenant was not fully understood by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as it is to us today.

Because every time that God uses that name Jehovah, It speaks to you who believe. It's a name given to you who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ that Jehovah, he's my covenant God. He's made a covenant with me, a gracious covenant with me established in the blood of Christ for me.

He's your God in a very peculiar, special way that he's not the God of this world. They don't know him as that. They know him as God, as El Shaddai, for example, or they know him as Elohim, God, the word for God, Elohim, they know him as that. Speaking of him as creator, as the governor of this creation, as ruler over all, that's how the world knows him. But you that believe know him as Jehovah. You know him as the God of the covenant. a gracious covenant made with you in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, whereby God may be gracious and merciful and long-suffering and loving and show you peace and comfort for Christ's sake in a peculiar, special way.

And so the way it appears is that they didn't know him in this sense. They knew the promises of God, but they don't see them fulfilled in the way that you see them fulfilled today. In fact, in Hebrews 11.13, speaking of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we're told in 11.13 of Hebrews, these all died in faith. not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, meaning they got the promise, but they only saw its fulfillment afar off. They didn't experience it, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. They're brethren, but they only received the promise, but not the fulfillment of the promise. They didn't get that fulfilled to them.

But now the time is coming when Jehovah would fulfill his covenant engagements with the people according to the covenant he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And so the people of Israel, they were not given the promises the way Abraham was given them, but they had them fulfilled to them in a manner that Abraham didn't have. So Abraham got the promises.

They got the fulfillment of it. They experienced the fulfillment of that promise. They would know Jehovah God as the fulfiller of his word of promise in a very peculiar, in a very special way that the world would not know, and even growing and building from how he revealed himself to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They would know Jehovah God as the faithful performer of his word in a manner and degree that the patriarchs didn't experience, didn't know him in that manner. And so the Lord's taking it up a notch, if you will. He's revealing himself more fully to the people of God.

And therefore, let's see Exodus 6, 4. He said, and I have also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. And so the patriarchs were strangers in the land, it wasn't given to them, it was promised to them, but now the people of God are going to settle in it as their land. It's gonna be given to them.

And so this speaks to, this reveals to us more and more the eternal covenant of our God that he's entered into with His people from the foundation of the world, that covenant which is repeated to us throughout Scripture. As you read the Scripture, it gets more and more clear, more and more revealed. You've probably heard, we don't interpret the new by the old, but rather we interpret the old by the new. There's greater light there. Now we see, oh, this is speaking of Christ. He's the promised seed. This is revealing the Lord Jesus Christ to me.

And so you go back here not to see character lessons and Bible stories, but you go here to the Old Testament and you see Christ. you see who all our salvation is and what he does for us and how he reveals himself to us because you have that greater light, that greater understanding that the Lord is giving to his people and revealing more and more and more. I think he did say to Daniel, in the end, knowledge shall increase. There'll be a greater understanding, a greater knowledge of these very blessed And so, even Paul, when he was speaking in Acts 13, 34, he declared concerning Christ, it says, as concerning that God raised Christ up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you, speaking to Christ, I will give you the sure mercies of David. That's an example of what we're seeing in Exodus. of what I've just explained to you.

It speaks of Christ, so that Christ received the mercies that were given, that were promised to David. They were promised to David. Christ was the one who received those mercies and did not see corruption, but was raised from the dead before he corrupted in the grave.

And so the Lord's assuring his people that he sees your groanings. He sees your burdens. He sees the bondage to the dominion of sin and Satan. He sees these things, and he's provided for you the promise seed. And now you, brethren, can look back and see, yes, the Lord provided. He promised these things, and now he's provided them. He's given to them. I mean, Adam and Eve. They received the promise of the seed, they thought they had the promise fulfilled in Cain, and Cain wasn't it. But they didn't receive the fulfillment of the promise, you received the fulfillment of the promise. We can now look back and see Christ has come, the promised seed in the garden. So we still receive and see more and more of that greater light.

Peter, writing of this, says in 1 Peter 1, 10 through 12, of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you, unto you, searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow. unto whom it was revealed that not unto themselves, but unto us, they did minister the things which are now reported unto you, by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven, which things the angels desire to look into." These things are all being shown to us in type, how the Lord promises, and then he fulfills it. But it may not be the same generation that receives it. And so it is that all these things, we're receiving all the promises, including the gift of the Holy Ghost, whereby we know the true and living God, and worship him in spirit and in truth.

All right, now, in Exodus 6-5, He says, I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant. And so that's what the Lord's doing now. He's remembering his covenant, and now they're going to receive the fulfillment of it.

And this now brings us to where the Lord, in verses six through eight, makes seven promises, gives seven promises to his elect people, promises which are sure and certain, sovereignly given to you in grace in the Lord Jesus Christ. And so he's fulfilling all these things. Let's read verses six through eight together. Wherefore, sorry, can't get rid of it. Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord. And that's Jehovah. I am the Lord Jehovah, the covenant God. And I, so here's the first one.

I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. Two, I will rid you out of their bondage. And three, I will redeem you with a stretched out arm and with great judgments. Four, I will take you to me for a people. Five, I will be to you a God, and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. Six, I will bring you in unto the land concerning the witch.

I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And seven, I will give it you for a heritage. I am the Lord. And so each of the seven, when you go back to this passage and you read it again, Exodus 6, 6 through 8, you will see the Lord saying, I will. Each one is preceded by what he will do.

It's not dependent on you. Thankfully, it's not dependent on my keeping it. It's not dependent on what I do, or I say, or if I keep it, or I keep myself. It is entirely dependent on the grace, the will, the purpose of Almighty Sovereign God, the Covenant God, Jehovah God, who keeps his covenant throughout generations. He does what he says. and everything he promised from the beginning he fulfills unto the end. He will not come short of that. You can be confident as you wait for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who promised to return, you know that this promise was given by the faithful covenant God who's never once broken his promise to one of his children.

Not once. Trust Him. Do not be moved, do not be deceived, do not be turned by this world, its ways, its sparkles and glitter and glamour. That's false. That's the lie. Your God is the truth. Do not be turned from Him because this world's going to put out every manner of deceitful thing to turn you from Him. and to knock you out of the way, and to destroy your hope and faith and confidence in God, just remember, everything He said, though it stretch over decades and hundreds of years, sometimes thousands of years, never once does it fall apart. He's eternal, and He brings to pass all that He says He will do.

So let's just quickly break down in closing. Let's just look at these seven promises. This is what we'll see here. First, he says, I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. What this speaks of is the promise of deliverance for the people of God. We looked at this earlier in the first message. But to those outside of Egypt who are not in bondage, who are not slaves in Egypt, they don't care about this promise. It means nothing to them. But to those children of Israel who were slaves and in bondage, that promise means everything.

That's why we say, to the sinner, to hear of the deliverance of God in the Lord Jesus Christ, freely, sovereignly by his grace, That's good news. That's an encouragement because you're a sinner. You're a sinner who cannot save yourselves, who cannot make a righteousness for yourselves. And so the Lord's promise to the sinner is good news to the sinner, to you that need his grace and mercy. Second, he says, I will rid you out of their bondage. This speaks to the liberty of the children of God. If you think that making bricks without straw is cruel bondage, try keeping the law without righteousness.

You cannot do it. If the Lord said, I'll save you, but you've got to keep that law perfectly, we're dead. We're ruined, because we have not a righteousness of our own. We might set out with a good thought, thinking we can do it, and seconds later, we've already fallen. We're already doomed. We've already come short of the glory of God. Well, he speaks of our liberty. We're not under the law for righteousness. We're not trying to save ourselves or trying to gain the blessings of God. We're trusting the Lord who promises to bless us in Christ, that everything we need, he's providing.

How often, in spite of you, has the Lord been gracious, and kept you, and been merciful to you, and then showed you how, at some point, you reflect back on it and say, I don't know why, Lord. You loved me, and kept me, and turned my heart, and turned me back to you. Thank you, Lord. And He does that. He reveals Himself to you as that God.

To know that in Christ Jesus, all who are in Christ Jesus, He's the end of the law for righteousness. We have Him. He's our righteousness. Paul said in Romans 8, 1-4, there's now no condemnation. to them that are in Christ. We walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. We're not trusting in our conformity to religion, our conformity to a law, our conformity to something else. We're trusting the Lord by His Spirit of grace. We're looking to Christ, believing Him, hoping in Him, trusting in Him. That's our hope, is the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you look at yourself, you're going to see failure. You're going to see shortcomings. You're going to be saddened and upset and fearful. Keep looking to Christ. There's your hope. He's all your confidence. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. You try and keep the law, it's a law of sin and death unto you. You trust Christ, and it's peaceful and merciful And it's the grace of God. For what the law could not do, and that it was weak through the flesh, this flesh right here, God sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. That it had no more power over you.

It's not dictating whether you go to heaven or not. Christ is the one who determines whether we go to heaven or not. He's the one who's provided everything we need. that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit, that keep looking to Christ, believing Him, trusting Him, following Him. The law sent us to work, but gave us no strength, no ability to keep that law.

Grace bids you to Christ and gives you all you need to obtain him effectually, to receive him all by his grace. He gives his spirit, and the spirit effectually calls us, giving us faith, hope to trust in him and to believe on him. It's a true work of grace wrought in us, so that it's all of his work. not of your doing, but of his doing. And anything you do, it's just bearing the fruit which he has borne in you, which he's given to you and wrought in you.

Third, he says, I will redeem you with a stretched out arm and with great judgments. And this speaks to our being purchased, not with corruptible things like silver and gold, but with precious things, eternal things, the blood of Christ, that which is immeasurable in value. And so we're redeemed with the outstretched, gracious arms of our Savior.

And it's done in a just manner, because He justly fulfilled the law in His coming, He justly put away our sins, everything that was necessary, he justly did it before God so that God may be gracious to us and be merciful to us. Fourth, he says, I will take you to me for a people. And this speaks to our acceptance with God as his people. We are accepted of holy God in the Lord Jesus Christ, being chosen in him before the foundation of the world, but in time. He sent the Son, who came and did everything that was necessary to obtain our acceptance with God. He had to do it. And that's how God is just to forgive us of our sins, because He did it. He did everything necessary before the law to obtain our salvation, our righteousness, our forgiveness.

To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved. Fifth, he says in verse 7, I will be to you a God, and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And so this speaks to how God brings the experience of His grace to bear, to be revealed in you. You might know God and have a right knowledge of Him, a true understanding of all that God does for His people. He makes us to know him wondrously in grace. So that the people in Israel didn't just hear these things, but they went out from Egypt. They were brought out from the bondage of Egypt. They were driven out. They crossed over the Red Sea on dry ground.

And then they looked back and saw that sea close in on Pharaoh and his army, killing and destroying all their enemies. And then when they were in the wilderness, they were provided for. Their shoes didn't wear out, their clothes didn't wear thin. They were kept alive and sustained by the Lord. And then when they got to the land of promise, they went into that land and conquered their foes. Enemies and civilizations stronger than them, more established than them, and yet they were overthrown by the might of God. by the hand of God. They experience His grace.

So it is that you, you that look for Him, you that trust Him, you that believe Him, that are trusting His word and believing Him, you experience these things. You see the hand of God providing for you. You experience that. And He's very gracious and very tender in that way to experience Himself, to reveal Himself to you in that manner. Fifth, he says, I'm sorry, sixth, he says, I will bring you into the land concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And this speaks to the rest of God from all your labors.

You that hear Christ and hope in him and trust in him, he is your Sabbath rest. He is your delight. You delight in Him and you have rest, you have peace in your souls with God. You're not trying to know God. You're not trying to be delivered. You're resting in Christ. And one of the ways that's revealed to you that you are resting in Christ is you're not still searching and looking for something to give you peace.

You're looking to Christ for all your peace. You're trusting that he is the very salvation of God provided for me, a sinner. He loved me and gave himself for me. And you're resting right there, trying to do something more, trying to make it more sure to you. If assurance is what you need, keep looking to Christ and trusting Him and crying out to Him for His grace and mercy there.

And then seventh, he says concerning the land, I will give it you for an heritage. And that speaks to your promised eternal inheritance. Just as you see, the God who always promised, he never failed to bring forth his promise. As he's promised you eternal life, he shall indeed bring it to pass.

He said to Martha, I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. believest thou this." You that believe Christ, continue to believe Christ. Continue to believe this word. Continue to hear this word and to seek your God in these things.

Four, in closing, let me just say, at the beginning of verse six, how did it begin? I am the Lord. I am Jehovah, he says. And then at the end of verse eight, it closes with, I am the Lord. I am Jehovah. In other words, all these promises, these seven promises, and every promise in the scriptures, it is dependent on, it's couched in Jehovah, the covenant God.

The God of his people, the one who keeps his covenant, throughout generations, unto all his people in Christ. Now we taste of these promises, soon you shall have them to the full in Christ. You shall have them for all eternity in Christ. Your faith will become sight. And so all these difficulties that we look at and say, how is this possible? Well, with you and I, it is impossible. But with God, all things are possible, all things are possible, and so believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Trust him unto the end. Don't be discouraged. Don't be fooled or deceived by this world. He is the covenant God, and he fulfills all these words of his promise to his people in Christ. Amen.
