99v "I will be their God!" Jeremiah 32:38
"
To WHOM is this promise given?
This was spoken of the literal Israel—but it applies also to the spiritual Israel. It refers to all who are gathered to the Lord Jesus; to every penitent sinner, who is returning to God with weeping and with supplication; to every one to whom the Lord gives a heart to know Him, and who trusts in His gracious Word; to all true believers.
WHAT does this promise include?
They shall have . . .
My wisdom to guide them;
My power to protect them;
My love to assure them;
My mercy to save them;
My holiness to sanctify them; and
My Spirit to comfort them.
As their God . . .
I will be with them.
I will be for them.
I will be a God to them.
I will never fail them, nor ever forsake them.
I will do all that I have promised in My Word for them.
I will confer upon them all I have provided in My covenant.
Believer, see in this promise, God’s greatest mercy: He gives you Himself to be your God!
The Christian’s highest honor is to have God so near unto him, and engaged for him. Jehovah is his God forever!
