God is Our Faithful God who shows this by making promises, making a covenant, and giving signs to testify this to his people. Because of this we can have confidence in all God’s promises, just like Abraham did.

Our faithful God keep his promises by entering a covenant of life with Noah, all his offspring (all humanity), and every living creature, ensuring that God will preserve the world so that he will bring about his ultimate plan of making a people for himself through the promised seed, Jesus, fulfilling the Covenant of Grace.

Though Adam broke the covenant of works and plunged humanity into a life of sin and misery (which is separation from God), our faithful God made a covenant of grace to redeem us through Christ to a life of joy and fellowship with him.

The resurrection of Christ frees us.

Jesus came and brought his salvation for us in glorious triumph at great cost to himself. He did this so we could live lives that continually cry out “Hosanna!”, “Save us we pray!”

Jesus is not just a great teacher, but he is the one who has authority and power over the entire universe because he is the Holy One of God, the Son of God, the Christ.

Jesus is full of grace for those who recognize their need.

Jesus resists the temptation to reverse the role of man and God, submits to God because he trusts God and knows that he is loved by him.

Jesus, as the true Israel, empowered by the Spirit, refused to exchange the glory and majesty of God for a lie and instead put God's purpose for him first.

Jesus, as the true Israel, empowered by the Spirit, trusts in God's provision and because we have his Spirit, so can we.
