How do we know God's promises are true?

Answered in 488 sources

We know God's promises are true because He has demonstrated faithfulness throughout history, as seen in Scriptures such as Isaiah 40:8 and the resurrection of Jesus.

God's promises can be trusted due to His unchanging nature and historical faithfulness to His Word. As stated in Isaiah 40:8, 'The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand forever.' This highlights the eternal nature of God's promises in contrast to the fleeting aspects of life. Moreover, the resurrection of Jesus Christ stands as the ultimate affirmation of God's promise of eternal life to believers. This significant event exemplifies the fulfillment of God's word and His power over death, providing assurance that what He has promised will come to pass.
