Opis

As soon as there was sin, there was a Savior. From times eternal, God knew that Satan would introduce sin into planet earth, infecting its inhabitants. Out of His great love for the human family, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit united in carrying out the great plan of redemption and in fulfilling the everlasting covenant of grace.In Marks hard-hitting Gospel, the Son of God suddenly appears, rising out of the Jordan River, hair wet, anointed by the heavenly dove and surrounded by the thunder-like echo of His Fathers approval. From this point on, all of Jesus recorded words and actions move steadily and unflinchingly toward Christs sacrifice on the cross, where He suffered and died for the redemption of humankind.Popular beliefs about the covenant have fragmented Gods interactions with the human race, insisting that Gods plan of redemption for the Jews on Sinai had little or nothing to do with His plan of redemption for new covenant believers. Taking his cue from Pauls aligning of Gods new covenant promise with His covenant with Abraham and from Peters New Testament repetition of Gods promise of His people being "a holy nation," Dr. Hubert F. Sturges argues convincingly and biblically that there is more continuity than discontinuity in Gods covenants with the human race. Tracing Gods saving actions through Scripture and history, Dr. Sturges reveals the strategic steps that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit took in fulfilling their continuing commitment to the human family.With bite-sized chapters, divided into three sections, More Than a Promise: The Everlasting Covenant as Presented Throughout History will cause you to reflect on Gods great love and mercy for the human race.
