This has been different than what I was expecting. I was initially thinking this was going to speak about the future promises of the believer. Instead it has been speaking more about the future promises but how they differ from those of the non-believer. How we can be assured over and over because of the promises that Christ has made to and for us. Still a good solid read.

Probably the best point of the book: Christian act and live in a manner according to God's promises that He has made known throughout the ages through His divine word. When I pray, I should pray expecting God to answer because I'm driving to do His will and He is totally committed to doing His own will. We as believers need to be more bold in prayers, evagelizing, studying, reading, discipling, fighting sin, etc. all because God has promised all of these to bear abiding fruit. Instead we show a lack of faith and trust in the God that we serve, by showing that He is not worthy of our trust by not living according to His promise.

"Even as first of all God made Adam, so must He make us over again, or else we can never bear His image, nor behold His glory"
" He (Paul) treated God as He should be treated, namely, with unquestioning confidence. An upright man likes to be trusted; it would grieve him if he saw that He was regarded with suspicion."

Not that C.H.Spurgeon needs my endorsement, but if you haven't read this you've missed a good one.

Thrilled to read this 'old' book that speaks to how God deals with His children and loves them by giving and fulfilling promises.
