God's Collateral On Calvary

Wednesday, January 20, 2021

When Abraham passed the greatest test of his life in offering up Isaac, his only son, as a sacrifice on Moriah, the Lord said an interesting thing. He said this, "By Myself, I have sworn." What does that mean? When you swear by something, you're offering that something up as a guarantee. So what is God saying? He's saying that His promise is backed up by His very life. Thus, the word of God and the promises of God are backed up by the strongest possible backing, the existence of God. The Lord is unchangeable, thus His promises are likewise unchangeable. God backs up His word with His life. And He would do just that, when He offered up His own life on Calvary, and on the very mountain where Abraham offered up Isaac. So be encouraged and take God's word at full strength. For the word of God, and the promises of God for your life are true, good, powerful and unchanging. For they are all backed up by the most powerful thing in existence-the very life of God. rn
