God also promised him a land for his descendants (Gen. 15:18-21). The land promise was fulfilled as the children of Israel conquered the land of Canaan. Of this we read, "And the LORD gave unto ...

Jesus said, "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" (John 12:48). Knowing how much depends on obeying his word, a study of the Bible should be important to everyone.
