However some of his promises may be conditional. If I promise to give you some money IF you do a job for me and you don't do he job, I will NOT have broken the promise if I don't give you the money. I will still have kept my part of the promise. If, however I promise to give you money regardless of what you do and I don't, then I will have broken my promise. God has never broken a promise - he is a man of his word. All God's promises are conditional. There are over 1400 mentions of the word "IF" in the Bible study them out. Here's one: "And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us". Deuteronomy 6:25 (KJV) Read the whole along with Chp 8.

While keeping in mind all of the previous promises God had made __ and broken, in this example God is liking Israel's sin to Leprosy and offering His cure: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." [However] "If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it" Isaiah 1:18-20 (KJV) I believe God administers His Grace to us in like manner, don't you? [Emphasis mine] Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
