| And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD. | ||
| Exodus 6:8 | ||
| “I will give you salvation, liberation, redemption, adoption, revelation, direction, and provision.” In Exodus 6:6–8, we see seven “I wills,” seven statements of promise made by God. The one thing we don’t see is a single, “If you . . .” because such is the nature of the gospel. The gospel is the expression of God’s fervent love toward us. It’s all about what He has done and nothing about what we must do. The gospel is nothing short of the best news the world has ever heard: Our sin is forgiven. The price is paid. The work is done. Although he was about to be beheaded, when Paul wrote to his protégé Timothy, he didn’t say, “Be strong in righteousness,” or “Be strong in your understanding of theology.” No, as good as those things may be, Paul’s final word to Timothy was, “Be strong in grace” (see 2 Timothy 2:1). So too, the degree to which we understand that grace is not the beginning point but the only point. As grace does its work in our hearts day by day, we will want to study, will desire to pray, and be eager to worship. | ||
