- Samuel Dale
GENESIS 22:15
15 ¶ And the angel of the LORD called unto
Abraham out of heaven the second time,
GENESIS 22:16
16 And said, By
myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou
hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine
only [son]:
GENESIS 22:17
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in
multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the
sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his
enemies;

E-27 What a marvelous promise! Two immutable things: God cannot lie and be God.
Now, if God has made a promise in His Bible here... We believe the Bible to be
the infallible Word of God. And if God has made a promise in this Bible, we
have this consolation and know that it's impossible for God to lie. Therefore,
when we see He promised it in the Bible, we believe it soul, body, and spirit.
It's impossible for Him to lie.
Now, if there's any fault, it's in us, not in God; for God is
obligated to His Word, for He's sworn by His Word. Oh,
my. I'm sure when we get to seeing it in that light,
things begin to shape up and heap up different than what they used to be.
Healing of the body doesn't become a fiction, it becomes
a reality. The baptism of the Holy Spirit doesn't become any emotional, worked-up
substance. It becomes a reality of the indwelling Presence of the Lord Jesus
Christ to change the life.

261-580 Now, listen as we read on down.
That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to
lie,... (impossible, an
impossibility and immutability is practically the same word: can't change,
can't move. It has to stay the same forever, can't be changed: the immutability
and the impossibility)
And two... by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for
God to lie,...
"We have two things?" Yes. First, His Word said
He would do it. The second was His sworn oath on it, He'd do it.
Oh, my. What type of people should we be? Why should we be tossed
about and run about, and taking the things of the world and acting like this
1957 streamlined, model Christianity? We want to be the old fashion type that
takes God at His Word, and calls those things which were not as though they
were, "If God said so, that settles it."

278-670 Now, Father, receive our worship this
morning. Take the Word and plant It into the
believer's heart. May they not be just tossed about and up today and down tomorrow. But may these Words find their resting place in
every believer's heart, to know this, that God hath sworn by an oath,
and there's two immutable things of the immutability of God, that is, that it's
impossible for Him to lie; that the heirs of this salvation might have this
strong hope, steadfast and sure, a anchor in the soul: to know this, that God
has promised us by a sworn oath. One, that He cannot lie; the other one, His
sworn oath on top of that, that He'll raise us up at the last day and give us
Eternal Life. Knowing that after we have been
called, that He said that He knew us before the foundation of the world, and
predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ. And
He foreknew us; He called us. And when He called us, He justified us. We cannot
justify ourself, so He justified us by the death of
His own Son. Those who He has justified, He has already glorified. The Word's
already spoke, and we're just on our road, going along, rejoicing on our way to
glory.

324-205 It's God. Blessed
be the Name of the Lord. "It's God that worketh;
not him that willeth or him that runneth,
but God showeth mercy." If
Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world, it taken four
thousand years before it actually happened. But when God spoke it back here, every Word of God is
steadfast. It's immutable; It's impartable;
It cannot fail. And when God slayed the Son before
the foundation of the world, He was just as much slain then as He was at
And remember, when the Lamb was slain, your salvation was included
in the Sacrifice, because the Bible said that your name was written on the
Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. What about that? Then
what are we going to do? It's God that showeth mercy.
It's God that called you. It's God that chose you in Christ before the
foundation of the world. Jesus said, "You never--you never chose Me; I chose you. And I knew you before the foundation of the
world." There you are.
So, see, that takes the scare out of you.
"Oh, I wonder; if I could keep holding on, I'll make it. Bless God, if
I'll just keep holding on..." It's not whether I hold on or not; it's
whether He held on or not. It's what--what He done. Not what I done; it's what
He did. Is it under the redemption law? This is a little thing I want to say
before closing.

E-27 Therefore, I may not have faith, as I said,
to walk like Enoch did: take an afternoon stroll and go home with God; but I
wish I had that faith. But I'll never stand in somebody else's way, and make
fun of them that's got that kind of faith. I will admire them, a man that's got
a hold of that faith.
Now, faith. God told Abraham here, give him a promise,
and then God confirmed this promise to him, give him an evidence by taking an oath before him. And the immutable
thing is that God cannot lie. And not only that, when He promised him, then
beyond that He swore to it: God taking an oath to Himself.
You've got to swear to someone greater than you, and
there was no one to swear to greater than Himself. So He swore to Himself. And
the promise was unto Abraham and ("and" is a conjunction) to his seed
after him, not seeds; but his seed. And Christ is the Seed of Abraham. And we
being in Christ, the Life of Christ in us makes us Abraham's children, and are heirs with him according to the promise.
