Unbiblical expectations led Pharaoh, Israel, and Moses to bedisappointed by his plan. Since the Lord is faithful to keep his covenant, we ought to trust him even when circumstances appear to conflict with his promises and adjust our expectations accordingly.

Paul calls believers to engage in a kind of friendly rivalry by trying to be first in giving honor to one another.

The Lord executes mercy and justice in accordance to his covenant oath. Since God never fails to fulfill his covenant oaths, we must trust him to bless and curse accordingly and to exercisejudgment first of all on those he intends to save.

All believers are called to make disciples of all peoples. Since Jesus, who has received all authority from his father, has called us to be his followers, we must obey his command to make disciples who will identify with him and obey him.

All who trust in God, who raised up Jesus from the dead, are credited with righteousness. There are three reasons we ought to believe God’s promise of salvation: the experience of Abraham, the testimony of David, and Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection.

God is the just judge who can justify the ungodly because of the death of Jesus Christ. Since God has been vindicated by the work of Christ on the cross, we can and must believe and be graciously forgiven of our sins, refusing to seek any reason to boast in ourselves.

God has promised to be with his people. We should trust God to give us the inheritance he promised, because he will stay with us, faithful to see it through.
