How do we know God's covenant promises are true?

Answered in 12 sources

God's covenant promises are affirmed through Scripture, particularly in His faithfulness as seen in the narratives of David and Jesus.

The truth of God's covenant promises is underlined throughout Scripture. In the narrative of David and Mephibosheth, we see David fulfilling his promise to care for Jonathan's descendants, which serves as a type of God's covenant fidelity. These old covenant promises are fulfilled in Christ, who is the embodiment of God's faithfulness. As Hebrews 9:11-12 illustrates, Christ entered the holy place not with the blood of goats, but with His own blood, securing eternal redemption. This assurance of covenant promises can also be seen in the realities of Romans 8:28, where God works all things for good for those who are called according to His purpose, confirming that His promises are unbreakable and ever-reliable.
