What does the Bible say about God's covenant and promises?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that God's promises are sure, made in faithfulness to His people and fulfilled in Christ.
In Deuteronomy 7:7-9, it is made clear that God's love and covenant with Israel are not based on their numbers or strength, but on His attribute of love and the promises made to their forefathers. The Lord does not choose or love His people for their merit; rather, His choice is unconditional, based on His sovereign grace. This theme is critical in biblical theology, as it shows that God's promises are not dependent on human performance but are fulfilled by His faithfulness. Thus, all His promises in Christ are 'yea and amen' (2 Corinthians 1:20), illustrating the certainty and reliability of God's word.
