How do we know God keeps His promises?

Answered in 33 sources

We know God keeps His promises because the Scriptures affirm that all His promises are 'yea and amen' in Christ, as stated in 2 Corinthians 1:20.

The assurance that God keeps His promises is rooted in the reliability of Scripture, which states in 2 Corinthians 1:20 that 'For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen.' This means that God’s promises are definite and unwavering, reflecting His nature as faithful and true. Throughout biblical history, we see numerous examples of God fulfilling His promises to His people, reinforcing the understanding that His word is settled and cannot fail. Additionally, as evident in Joshua 21:45, 'There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken,' making clear that God accomplishes all that He intends.
