15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of (Genesis 28:15).
God’s sovereignty is evident in the sureness of His stated promises. Promises that are declared by God will occur. In this verse God is promising to Jacob that he will be kept and protected by God. God will bring Jacob to the place He desires him to be and into a land he desires him to posses. God promises us that we will be kept as well. We are kept by God’s promise through the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf. God’s desired outcome is our salvation and He promises the fulfillment of this outcome will be due to God’s action of justification. God justifies us. This is the good news of the Gospel and reason for true hope.
