He promised to save us through faith in Jesus Christ and He will not down let those who believe. An example is Jehovah-jireh-the Lord will provide. It is taken from Genesis 22:14. God provided the lamb as a substitution for Issac. However it is a clear presentation of the vicarious or substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The ram took the place of Issac, Jesus takes our place on the cross.  |
