How do we know God's promises of restoration are true?
Answered in 1 source
God's promises are undergirded by His covenant, which guarantees His faithfulness and the fulfillment of His word.
The assurance of God's promises comes from His established covenant, which reflects His unchanging nature and commitment to His people. Ezekiel 36 illustrates that though Israel was far from God due to their sins, the Lord declares His intention to restore them, motivated by His jealousy for their well-being. The fulfillment of these covenantal promises is not contingent upon human actions but rather rests in God's covenant of grace, assuring believers that they are secure in His love and can always return to Him. This divine fidelity is echoed throughout scripture, providing a steadfast hope for all who seek restoration.
