How do we know that God's promises for the future are true?
Answered in 1 source
God's promises are true because they are grounded in His faithful character and confirmed through Scripture.
The veracity of God's promises comes from His nature as a faithful God who cannot lie (Titus 1:2). Throughout Scripture, we see numerous instances where God has fulfilled His word to His people. For example, in Hebrews 11, Abraham looked for a city whose builder and maker is God, demonstrating his faith in God's promises despite not seeing the fulfillment. Similarly, God's declaration that He has prepared a place for believers in John 14:1-3 assures us of our future in His presence. The consistent testimony of Scripture affirms that God’s preparations for His people are certain and reliable, providing us confidence as we anticipate the fulfillment of His divine promises.
