“And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it” (Genesis 2:15).

One of the most amazing statements ever made was the assertion of Jesus Christ in the temple in Jerusalem one early morning long ago, speaking to a group of bigoted religionists who were seeking an excuse to condemn Him.

“Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full” (John 16:24).

“And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for He is not a man, that He should repent” (I Samuel 15:29).

“Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them” (Joshua 1:6).
