"A promise from God may very instructively be compared to a
check payable to order. It is given to the believer with the view of bestowing upon him
some good thing. It is not meant that he should read it over comfortably, and then have
done with it. No, he is to treat the promise as a reality, as a man treats a check."
"God has given no pledge which He will not redeem, and
encouraged no hope which He will not fulfill."
- Charles Haddon Spurgeon
