a – b – a – b
a = FUTURE (heaven)
b = PRESENT (promises)
a – b – a – b
Faith when God’s promises collide with REALITY...
Faith = confidence in God’s character
Faith when God’s promises collide with IMPOSSIBILITY...
Faith = confidence in God’s power
How do we engage the promises of God?
* List them
* Meditate on them
* Pray them
* Act on them
* List them
* Meditate on them
* Pray them
* Act on them
Every command of God is built upon a promise from God. Every divine call to action (obedience) is, at the same time, a divine summons to trust in God’s promises (faith)...Disbelief always shows up as an act of disobedience, since every promise carries with it a command. Every time we disobey God, it is because we are not trusting his promises.
