THE GENESIS PLEDGE
Psalms 139:14-24
God gave himself to us in Eden and at our birth, his breath, creatively. He gave himself for us on Calvary, his blood, redemptively. He gives himself with us continually, his Spirit, sustaining, wooing us if we keep him out; shaping the life over on the shape of his own presence as we let him fully in. John 3:16 is written on the first pages of Genesis. In giving his breath he pledged his blood if ever the need came.
