When God says, “I will,” it forms a covenant. Take Genesis 9:8-10: “Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: ‘I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you…’” This is a solo resolution, and unconditional. God’s “I will” covenants are spontaneous and absolute. Nobody pressed God for them, and they stand firm unconditionally. Most of Christ’s claims relate to the immediate present. He said, “Come to me… and I WILL give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). “I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). There is a tremendous “I will” in John 14:16. “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter…” The Day of Pentecost was an unsolicited act of the Divine will. The disciples did not ask Him to do it. He said He would, and He did. He also said, “I will build my church” and He has. He is doing so now, and He will complete it. Hallelujah and God bless you.
