(Rom 4:17) “ (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” The Lord speaks and then brings to pass what He has said. Saved soul, the Lord has said we sit (present tense) in the heavenlies with Him (Eph 2:6). Lost soul, hell awaits as sure as you are reading this. Souls of men – act accordingly.
