All are within the context of God's unfolding promises to the patriarchs. It spans from the closing moments of Genesis, showing the fulfillment and yet anticipated nature of God's promises to His people, through Exodus, 400 years later, where Israel begins their journey toward the Promised Land. Hebrews 11 provides a New Testament perspective on the faith of Abraham and his descendants who greet the promises of God from afar, believing without yet receiving. Biggest Lesson The hope that we have in the promises of God are not in question. We can walk in full assurance that what God says will always come to fruition. Just as Jacob and Joseph trusted God's covenant promises for future generations, we, too, are called to walk by faith, forgive others, and live as strangers on earth, and look forward to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises. We also see that as the book comes to a close, Moses shows the children of Israel that God's promises are sure. Barrenness, doubt, disobedience, deceitfulness, betrayal, sin, tragedy, and famine could not prevent God from fulfilling His promise to Abraham to grow His descendants into a great nation. – Stay connected with our church.
