How do we know that God's promises are for the faithful?

Answered in 1 source

God's promises are for those described as saints and faithful brethren in Christ.

The apostle Paul, in his letters, specifically addresses God's promises to the 'saints' and 'faithful brethren.' In Colossians 1:2, he outlines this explicitly, indicating that only those who belong to Christ can claim these promises. This reflects the biblical understanding that the character and identity conferred upon believers are essential to claiming the assurance of God's promises. Thus, those who believe in Christ and are regenerated by the Holy Spirit are the ones who can rightfully expect to experience God's promises.
