How do we know that God's promises are true?

Answered in 91 sources

God's promises are affirmed through the fulfillment of scripture, the evidence of His grace in believers' lives, and the historical accounts of His faithfulness.

The truth of God's promises is attested through both scripture and the lived experiences of believers. For example, Isaiah’s prophecies about the restoration of Judah and the rejoicing that would follow are rooted in historical fulfillment. Similarly, believers today witness God's promises through the transformative power of the Gospel in their lives. This continual realization of His grace reflects the reality that God keeps His word, as seen in passages like 2 Corinthians 1:20, where it states that all the promises of God find their yes in Christ.

Moreover, when Christians experience the joy and peace that accompany salvation, they can be assured of God's promises. The inward witness of the Holy Spirit affirms a believer's status as a child of God, thus reinforcing the truth of His promises. This ongoing relationship with God exemplifies the faithfulness of His nature, providing a foundation for believers to trust and rest in His promises.
