God's promises are affirmed by His character and faithfulness throughout Scripture, as demonstrated in His deliverance of Israel.
We know God's promises are true because they are rooted in His immutable character. The history of Israel, particularly during Gideon's time, illustrates God's faithfulness despite the people's failures. The narratives of the Old Testament are replete with examples of God's deliverance and provision for His people, confirming His promises. When God speaks, He does not change His mind; His promises stand firm and can be relied upon throughout all of history and in our own lives as believers.
