God now establishes the promises that He made with Abraham with his son Isaac. But, although Isaac does indeed inherit the promises, he must receive them by faith. That is, Isaac too must learn to trust God, just as his father did. So we see similar tests of Isaac just as Abraham. And we see similar faith. True faith is tested; true faith grows under temptation.

In John 6 Jesus feeds the 5,000 men supernaturally from 2 fish and 5 loaves. This great sign moves the people to try to forcibly make Him king. He leaves and later crosses the Sea of Galilee. The following day some of those same people seek Him to repeat the miracle but receive correction from Jesus because of their motives and instruction on what food really to seek Him for. This leads to a wonderful point in John 6:29 concerning salvation.

Genesis chapter 25 opens with Abraham taking a second wife, Keturah. She bore him 6 sons, fulfilling God’s promise to make from him a multitude of peoples. Then, it moves to dispense of Ishmael’s genealogy. Showing that his twelve sons were also God’s fulfillment of His word to Abraham. And finally, it concentrates on Isaac. However, the final section begins focussing on the barrenness of Rebekah, Isaac’s wife. In time God responds to Isaac’s prayer and Rebekah conceives twins who quarrel from the womb, Esau and Jacob. These two young men grow up to be true to their names. But the center thought is the birthright, something that Jacob avidly desires but Esau considers worthless.

After the death of Sarah, Abraham considers his old age and that it is time to find a wife for Isaac. He fully trusts that the Lord will find this wife and makes his servant Eliezer take an oath to return back to his homeland to find her. Eliezer journeys to his master Abraham’s home and his journey is made successful by God. He finds Rebekah and returns with her back to Isaac. The key principle that is at work here is how God’s providence and sovereignty work in conjunction with man’s actions and responses. This is the very essence of salvation.

Today we will be doing an exegetical study of Romans 10:8-10 - a well-known passage. The overall thrust of the text will highlight the way and means by which a person can be saved. Our study in the Greek text will show the beauty of these things to give us what we have today as a doctrinal statement of the Christian faith.

With the revelation of the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, we now have the final words of the Book of Revelation concerning Jesus the Messiah. John completes the picture of the eternal age in as much as God has decided to show it to him (us) and ends with both an affirmation and invitation. An affirmation as to the assuredness of the prophecy written in the book and an invitation to all to join God in that blessed, eternal kingdom.

We continue our teaching in Revelation 21, dealing with the new Jerusalem. Previously, our primary discussion was about the nature of the holy city (holy). Now, we talk about the appearance of the holy city - glorious.
