It's Never Too Late For God (25 of 48)
Series: Creation or Evolution?

Genesis 17
INTRODUCTION: We've been studying the great career of Abraham and it is certainly a lesson for the Christian. It shows that it's never too late for God. It absolutely proves that God keeps his promises and often he brings us to the place of the impossible in order for the promise to be fulfilled. For thirteen long years, Abraham received no word from God. He was eighty-six when Ishmael was born and ninety-nine when, God at last, broke the silence. When God did speak at last, it was to gather up the various threads of promise he had already made and to weave them into one great comprehensive covenant known as the Abrahamic Covenant. This is one of the most important utterances in human language and has left its mark on all subsequent history. What is happening in the Middle East today is an outworking of this covenant.
