In Chapter 3 of “In Step With God,” the author, Dr. Charles Stanley, begins this chapter with a simple statement, “God always keeps His word.” He goes on to explain that the reason people sometimes fail to trust in God’s promises is that we expect those promises to be fulfilled on “our”” timetable.
This chapter discusses “absolute declarations” and “conditional declarations.” Dr. Stanley explains the differences between the two and gives examples of each.
Part of this chapter deals with the consequences of sin. This discussion covers: Separation from God, Sense of shame, Pride, and Death. This chapter goes on to discuss how God fulfills his promise on His own timetable, which is most certainly different from our own. The author describes how we can learn to trust God and therefore, learn to trust his promises.
The chapter concludes by talking about how learning God’s ways prepares us for the future. Dr. Stanley uses examples of people in the Bible, testimonies and his own personal experiences to illustrate this.
Be sure to come back soon as I will be posting a review of the next chapter shortly.
