How does faith play a role in receiving God's promises?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is essential in receiving God's promises as it is through faith that believers are assured of what they hope for and convinced of what they do not see.

Faith is central to receiving God's promises, as shown in Hebrews 11 where faith is described as the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. It is through faith that Sarah and Abraham were able to believe in God's ability to fulfill His promises, despite overwhelming odds. Their faith was not merely a mental assent but a profound trust in God's character and word. Faith allows believers to know they are recipients of God's grace and His eternal covenant fulfilled in Christ, leading them to embrace and anticipate the promises He has given.
