Homeward Bound Albert Veldman

Homeward Bound - Sustained by Grace. This title brings together two passages of scripture. In Hebrews 11:10 we read that Abraham was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. Likewise, we are pilgrims on our way to the celestial city: homeward bound. The words 'sustained by grace' are a reference to 2 Corinthians 12:8 where we read that on our earthly pilgrimage, God's grace will always be sufficient each day anew, whatever lies ahead. This devotional demonstrates these two perspectives as it speaks about the wisdom of God's word as summarized in the Heidelberg Catechism and elements of other Reformed confessions. The joy of a life of faith is evident throughout.
