Joseph G. Rainsford (1861) on “The Faithfulness of God”

“God, from the beginning, has dealt with His people in the way of promise. Hence they are called “Heirs of Promise” (Heb. 6:12) God’s promises are sure and suitable. They are built upon four pillars:

1. God holiness, which will not allow Him to deceive.

2. God’s goodness, which will not allow Him to forget.

3. God’s truth, which will not allow Him to change.

4. God’s power, which will not allow Him to fail.”
