# E.C. Wines: Christ is the Fountain of the Promises

“Christ is the fountain of the promises, inasmuch as it is to him, as our Head and Surety, that they are all originally made. The promises are primarily to Christ; and they are made to us only as we are in him. Through him alone are they made over to us. His blessed mediation is the only channel through which their divine benefits can flow into our souls.” — [E.C. Wines](/authors/enoch-cobb-wines), *The Promises of God* (1868), p. 14
