How do we know the promises God made to Abraham are true?
Answered in 1 source
The truths of God's promises to Abraham are rooted in His character and faithfulness, evidenced through the miraculous birth of Isaac.
God's promises to Abraham, including the birth of Isaac and the covenant made with him, are secured by God's unchanging nature. In Genesis, we see the faithfulness of God to fulfill His word, even when it seemed impossible. The promise of Isaac's birth, which came after years of waiting, confirms that God's plan is not bound by human limitations. The Apostle Paul reinforces this in Galatians, comparing the nature of Isaac's birth to the gospel, wherein God’s promises transcended human efforts. This assurance that God will fulfill His promises is central to the faith of God's people.
