He has made himself our debtor, not by receiving anything from us but by promising us so much. The promise alone was not enough for him: he wanted it in writing, so that he could be held to it, practically entering into a contract with us that listed the promises he was making.

Therefore the time of the prophets was the time of making promises.\n\nHe promised us eternal salvation and an unending life of blessedness with the angels, and an imperishable inheritance, the joy of seeing his face, a dwelling-place with him in heaven, and the fear of death removed from us through the resurrection. This is, if you like, his ultimate promise. We look forward to it, and when we reach it, we will want nothing more. But as to how this final end is to be reached, he has also told us in promises and prophecies.\n\nHe has promised to men that they will be like God; to mortals he has promised immortality; to sinners, righteousness; to the lowly, glory.\n\nIndeed, brethren, because what God promised seemed incredible to men - that from mortality, decay, weakness, lowliness, dust and ashes they should become equals of the angels of God - he did not only sign a contract with them to convince them. He sent, not just any prince, not just any angel or archangel, but his only Son. The road by which he was to lead us to the end he had promised us - through his Son he would show us that road.\n\nEven so, it was not enough for God to send his Son to point out the way - he made his Son the way itself, so that we can go on our journey guided by him as he walks along his own way.\n\nConnect with us and our community on our websites and social media.\nOr simply reach us via email at [mission@actsxxix.org](mailto: mission@actsxxix.org)\n\nACTS XXIX - Mobilizing for Mission\nWeb: https://www.actsxxix.org \nInstagram: @acts.xxix\nFacebook: @ACTSXXIXmission\n\nThe Rescue Project\nWeb: https://rescueproject.us \nInstagram: @the.rescue.project \n\nOur Streaming Channels\nWeb: https://watch.actsxxix.org/browse\nYouTube: @actsxxix (https://youtube.com/actsxxix)","content_html":"<p>Scripture: <a href=\"https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2031&version=NABRE\" rel=\"nofollow\"> Jeremiah 31:7-9</a></p>\n\n<p>St. Augustine&#39;s Commentary Excerpt on Psalm 109: </p>\n\n<p>God is faithful.
