Pledge of Paternal Provision
Here We Stand
Pastor Martin expounds the third and final experiential privilege of adoption — the pledge of God's paternal provision — built on Philippians 4:19 ('my God shall supply every need of yours'). He examines the substance of the pledge, the fourfold pattern of its fulfillment (God's true estimation of our worth, sensitive awareness of our condition, perfect knowledge of our real need, and proven provision for our greatest need in giving his Son), and the three house rules under which it is fulfilled: commitment to the priorities of the household, asking of the head of the household, and harmonious relationships with the other members.
