What does the Bible say about God's promises to the church?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible assures that God's promises are absolute and will certainly come to pass, particularly through Christ's redemptive work.

The promises of God to the church, as highlighted in Isaiah 60, indicate that God only speaks in absolutes. When He makes a promise, He declares with certainty what He will do for His people. This notion is affirmed by the sovereignty of God; He rules over all creation and has full power to fulfill His commitments. The certainty of these promises is fundamentally rooted in the finished work of Christ on the cross, which assures that those whom God has called will indeed be drawn to Him. As stated, God smote Christ for our sins, ensuring that His promises to His elect are secure and bound to be fulfilled.
