How
precious are the promises which the Bible contains for the use of those who love
God! There is hardly any possible emergency or condition for which it does not
have a word of hope and encouragement. And it tells people that God loves to be
put in remembrance of these promises, and that if He has said He will do
something, His promise will certainly be fulfilled. How blessed are the hopes
which the Bible holds out to the believer in Christ Jesus! Peace in the hour of
death—rest and happiness on the other side of the grave—a glorious body in the
morning of the resurrection—a full and triumphant acquittal in the day of
judgment—an everlasting reward in the kingdom of Christ—a joyful meeting with
the Lord’s people in the day of gathering together—these, these are the future
prospects of every true Christian. They are all written in the book—in the book
which is all true.
