The conditions after the fall went from bad to worse but God choose life for us instead of death by giving us grace to redeem us. In Genesis 3:15 God promised to send a Savior to crush the serpent on the head even though he himself would be bruised. In spite of organized humanity’s failures, God called a man of faith, Abram to become the channel of blessing to all nations, and through him form a people that would eventually bring our Lord and Savior. We are now invited to choose life by joining his people of faith in this humanly impossible journey because, after all, by faith in his promises, what is impossible for men is possible for God.

How does God rescue and restore what sin has damaged and destroyed?

God’s plan to rescue and restore what sin has damaged and destroyed invites us to…

Receive his promise of blessing in spite of our failures: The Word Genesis 3:14-15.
1. His promise is a word.
2. His Word is a person.
Receive his provision in spite of the insufficiency of our merits: Grace Genesis 3-11.
1. Grace: God gives us the good we don’t deserve and does not give us the punishment we deserve at his cost.
2. Grace: the God who freely turns nobodies into somebodies: Adam and Eve (3:15), Cain and Abel (4:11-15), Noah (6:1-8), Babel (c. 11), Abram and Sarai (Genesis 12-15).
Respond by entrusting our impossible needs into his capable hands: Faith Genesis 15-122.
1. Our impossible needs: life as a gift not an entitlement (Gen. 15:18-21). b. The God who makes our impossible possible: The Word becoming flesh to die so that we may live Gen. 18:9-15, Luke 1:35-37, Matthew 19:25.

To choose life, we must trust that through His Word, God can give us the life we cannot achieve by his grace, if we just believe what only he has done.

What are some obstacles that seem impossible to overcome for you to experience the life God promises in his Word?
What has God already graciously provided for you to become the person that God wants you to be? Are you willing to receive his grace and ask for his help under his terms, not yours?
God gives us the promise of life by His Word and the grace to receive it. The only thing he desires from us is faith. Faith is entrusting our impossible needs into his capable hands. What impossible needs does God want you to entrust to him today?

Dios con nosotros en todo tiempo | Salmo 46

February 22, 2026by Dr. Hugo Gallegos

El salmo 46 es un cántico de “esperanza y confianza”. El salmo se divide en tres estrofas. La primera estrofa, es “una invitación a seguir confiando en el Dios de toda esperanza en medio de las crisis de la vida”. En la segunda estrofa, el salmista revela “quien debe ser Dios para nosotros”. Y, por último, “lo que Dios puede hacer por nosotros”. Entonces, este salmo enseña que el Señor en tiempos de dificultades, crisis, temor y desesperanza; Él es amparo, fortaleza, auxilio, refugio, fuente de esperanza, seguridad, y victoria.
