How do we know God's promises of happiness are true?

The certainty of God’s promises regarding happiness is grounded in His character and actions through Christ. In Jeremiah 32:40, God speaks of forming an everlasting covenant with His people, assuring them that He will instill a fear of Him within their hearts. This promise is realized in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, who embodies the fulfillment of God's covenant of grace. As believers, we can trust that the spiritual blessings promised in Scripture are secured through Jesus, who gives us the ability to fear God and walk in His ways. Thus, God’s commitment to our happiness stems not from external circumstances, but from a profound, inward relationship with Him through Christ.
