We can trust in God's promises because He is sovereign and faithful to His Word.
God's promises are founded on His character as revealed in Scripture. As seen in Genesis 48, Jacob recounts how God blessed him and made promises regarding his descendants. Jacob's assurance that God Almighty appeared to him and blessed him serves as a confirmation of God's sovereignty and faithfulness (Genesis 48:3-4). Throughout the Bible, God repeatedly demonstrates His reliability. In Ephesians 1:4-5, we learn that we were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world, showcasing the depth of His commitment to us as His adopted children. Believers can rest in the truth that God's promises are true because He will fulfill what He has decreed.
