Description
Genesis 17:3-8 (ESV)
God made an everlasting promise to Abraham and his descendants, and yet Abraham did not see the fullness of that pledge come to pass in his lifetime, and he certainly did not see it happen for all his progeny. The Lord promises many things in His Word, such as healing, that we do not receive completely during our lives. What are we to make of this? What exactly does it mean to live by “the long view” of God’s promise?
