When God gave Moses the task of delivering Israel from bondage in Egypt, what Moses wanted to know greater than something was God’s title and phrase. Certainly, down by the centuries, mankind’s biggest want has all the time been to know God’s character, to obtain His guarantees, and to reside within the mild of each. In his remaining message as Parkside Church’s senior pastor, Alistair Begg calls us to mirror on God’s unfailing trustworthiness, which supplies us positive grounds for staking our lives upon His guarantees:
In verse 17, He’s the God who retains His promise: “I promise that I’ll carry you up out of the affliction of Egypt.” We will belief God’s guarantees. In truth, there’s no distinction between an Previous Testomony believer and a New Testomony believer on this regard. What have been they doing? What did they go on? The disclosure of God and His guarantees. What are you occurring into subsequent week? The disclosure of God and His guarantees.
You say to your pals at work that you simply consider in eternity, that you simply consider that there’s a heaven which may be loved, they usually say, “And the place did you give you this?”
And also you say, “Effectively, I got here up with it from the Bible.”
“Oh, you learn the Bible?”
“Yeah, I learn the Bible.”
They are saying, “Effectively, what half do you imply?”
“Effectively, it’s a promise that Jesus made: ‘Don’t let your hearts fret. You consider in God. Imagine in Me. In My Father’s home are many rooms, mansions. If it weren’t so, I’d have advised you that. I am going to arrange a spot for you. And if I am going and put together a spot for you, I’ll come once more and obtain you to Myself, in order that the place I’m there you might be additionally.’”
That’s what He was saying: “Inform the folks that you simply’re going to a spot that He’s ready for you. I promise,” He says. They trusted His promise. Can we?
