God's promises are trustworthy because His words are pure and have been tested and proven through Christ's work (Psalm 12:6).
Trust in God's promises is grounded in the purity and reliability of His word. Psalm 12:6 states, 'The words of the Lord are pure words, as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.' This signifies that God's promises are flawless, devoid of deceit or imperfection. The ultimate assurance of this purity is found in Christ's sacrificial work, which fulfilled God's holy justice and paved the way for His promises of salvation. Thus, believers can confidently rely on God's promises, knowing they arise from His immutable character.
