Top Highlights
“The primary purpose of Genesis is to introduce to us the Lord Jesus.” (Page 29)
“When we come to Jacob we find a most striking illustration of justification by faith through grace” (Page 113)
“Every incident recorded in the Scriptures has a bearing directly or indirectly upon this theme, ‘revealing Jesus Christ’. A godly minister, now gone to be with the Lord, said to me early in my ministry, ‘Son, you have never found the true interpretation of any passage of the Scriptures until you have found in it somewhere a reference to the Lord Jesus Christ. If you search long enough you will find Him standing somewhere in the background, sometimes clear and unmistakable, sometimes faintly and dimly, but He is there’” (Page 14)
“Abraham is the example of sovereign election and predestination” (Page 112)
“Under the guise of a search for knowledge and better understanding of the Word of God, the enemies of the Gospel are repeating the question of the serpent, ‘Yea, hath God said?’” (Page 16)
