God’s promises to His people appear throughout God’s Word from Genesis to Revelation. In these explicit declarations, God promises to you and me salvation. He promises hope, perfect peace, love, deliverance, mercy, protection, and so much more.
Over the past several weeks, I have been drawn to research God’s promises of the Bible. It has been an extraordinary journey. I culled out from literally thousands of these precious promises to only 100. But there are literally thousands.
The good news is that the more Bible study you do, the more you see His divine nature. His love and compassion are a constant presence throughout the Word of God. The promises made by our heavenly Father never fail. His covenant of love and every good thing flows into His people’s lives. I pray that you are encouraged today!
