How do we know God's promises are reliable?

Answered in 28 sources

God's promises are reliable because they are immutable, as seen in scripture such as Hebrews 6:18, which states it is impossible for Him to lie.

The reliability of God's promises is grounded in His immutable nature, as articulated in Hebrews 6:18: 'That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation.' This means that believers can trust in both the character of God and the promises He has declared. When God makes an oath, He does so with the assurance that He cannot mislead or deceive. Furthermore, the foundation of God is described as sure; He knows those who are His and remains faithful to His covenant promises. This steadfastness is an anchor for our souls, giving us hope and peace in the midst of uncertainty.
