All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness. All of them. Even this one, because He is sovereign and He is steadfast in His love for me.
A Path of Steadfast Love
The Holy Seed
Hope for the banished and sinful race of Adam is placed in the seed of the woman. Her offspring will save them. A day of redemption will come. One day, they will be able to come home.
Well Tried Promises
“And the story continues from Adam to the Church: redemption, redemption, redemption. The entire story arch of the Bible is a story of God’s faithfulness to His promises.”
