Twenty-five Promises from the Lord for TODAY (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781542764629)

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. But 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 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 who 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, however, is that He can be trusted to bring those things to pass that He has promised to do. That being said, the best evidence says that there really was a Garden of Eden. There really was one man and one woman who had given birth to the entire human race. There really was 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. In addition, there also 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 who are not saved and now in Christ will find something in the following pages to draw him or her to Him.

Now in closing, there is one final note to be offered with respect to the organization of this text before concluding this Introduction. Something that the reader might find helpful are boxes throughout the text that show the different passages that are being referenced at the times and in the locations where they are being referenced. That way, he or she will not have to jump all over the place or get into or out of the scriptures to locate a particular reference. Hopefully that inclusion will help the reader in trying to understand the various events and to also quickly put them into their right context. So it is hoped that that addition will make this text easier to read and that the Lord will receive the praise, honor, and glory that He rightfully deserves.
