How do we know that God is capable of keeping His promises?
Answered in 1 source
God's track record as the 'I am' and His historical faithfulness to figures like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob assure us of His capabilities.
In Exodus 3, when God identifies Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, He invokes His history of faithfulness to His people. His name 'I am' signifies His eternal and unchanging nature, providing us with assurance that He is capable and willing to fulfill all His promises. The Bible recounts how He delivered Abraham from idolatry, blessed Isaac with sustenance during famine, and assured Jacob of His presence and protection. This historical faithfulness reveals God's ability to act, making Him reliable in every promise He extends. Further, God's promises culminate in Christ, where all His assurances find their ultimate fulfillment.
