How do we know that God will keep His promises?

Answered in 7 sources

God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises is based on His unchanging nature and the finished work of Jesus Christ.

The assurance of God keeping His promises comes from His immutable character and historical acts of redemption, most notably through Jesus Christ. In Psalm 78, God exhibits mercy despite Israel's repeated failures, emphasizing His willingness to forgive and restore. This is echoed in Hebrews, which reassures us that God is faithful to His covenant. Moreover, the fulfilment of His promises culminates in Christ, who embodies the ultimate covenant promise and provides justification for all who believe. The believer's experience of grace hinges upon this reality; through Christ’s sacrifice, we find both our righteousness and the foundation for our hope that God's promises will never fail.
