How do we know God’s promises are reliable?

Answered in 38 sources

God's promises are reliable as He is immutable and cannot lie, as affirmed in Romans 11:29: 'The gifts and calling of God are without repentance.'

The reliability of God's promises is rooted in His immutability and sovereignty. Romans 11:29 emphasizes that 'the gifts and calling of God are without repentance,' meaning God does not change His mind or go back on His commitments. Throughout Scripture, God's faithfulness is repeatedly demonstrated, showing that He brings all His purposes to pass according to His will. Since God is perfect and unchanging in His nature, His promises are as sure and eternal as He is, providing comfort and assurance to believers that their salvation is secure.
