Excerpt from The Christian's Legacy<br/><br/>It is only the promise Of God that gives certainty to our assurance of hope. Thus the believer's joy is inseparable from the precious promises. We find joy to be threefold: the joy Of memory, experience, and anticipation; the retrospect, the aspect, the prospect. If it be the joy of remembrance, it is that of the promises fulfilled; if, of present realization, it is that of the promises embraced and enjoyed; if, of future foretaste, it is the joy of promises anticipated. The believer thus dwells in the promises. They irradiate his past experience, they illu minate his present path, they glorify his future estate. Our Obedience is encouraged and stimulated by the prom ises; for all promises are both addressed to obedient souls and are the reward of doing the will of God. This is the indispensable condition of their reception and realization. Departure from God leads into deep darkness  nay, it is itself darkness that may be felt. The light of promise breaks only upon the pathway Of Obedience, which is, in fact, the very pathway also of promise. Gerizim and Ebal are the typical mountains that stand at the very gateway of life: the moun tains of blessing and of cursing, of promise and of threaten ing; and, whether we stand on the sunlit slopes of the one or under the frowning shadows of the other, depends upon our Obedience to God.
