According to the Scripture—the words God caused to be written down that we now call the Bible—God makes plans, He makes promises, and he fulfills the promises he makes. The Bible makes that claim over and over.
There aren’t many passages of scripture that tell more about God making promises than in Genesis 12-25, the story of the life of Abraham. And it causes us to ask: did God make good on His promises? But, even beyond that... Is He the same God today?
Does He still promise and fulfill? How do we know? And, even more importantly, maybe, we want to know: if this God is real, if He is the Same God, does he care about ME? Does he have plans for ME? Will he reveal his will to ME and carry ME through? And how can I KNOW?
