We know God's promises are true because they are grounded in His unchanging nature and faithfulness, affirmed throughout Scripture (Genesis 9:12-17, Revelation 21).
The truthfulness of God's promises is rooted in His character, which is immutable and faithful. Scripture consistently affirms that God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19), meaning His declarations cannot fail. The rainbow covenant, established in Genesis 9:12-17, exemplifies this faithfulness; it is a perpetual sign of God's commitment to uphold His promises. Furthermore, the hope of a renewed earth, as prophesied in Revelation 21, underscores that God's plans for salvation are certain and secure. This assurance empowers believers to trust in God's promises, knowing they are firmly established in His sovereign will and purpose.
