God always keeps His promises.

20 For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore, also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us. Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. 2 Corinthians 1:20-22

The Christian life is wonderfully enriched by God’s promises, for both today and the future. We can trust everything that our heavenly Father has said to us, because His Word shows Him to be …

Truthful. The Lord knows what is true and speaks honestly in all matters. He is also omniscient and understands everything (Hebrews 4:12-13). His promises are based on His infinite knowledge and accuracy.

Faithful. Scripture compares the Lord to a shepherd who “gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart” (Isa. 40:11 NIV). What He has planned for us, He will bring to fruition (Philippians 1:6).

Loving. God’s love for mankind was demonstrated at the cross. This is the ultimate proof of His devotion to us.

All-powerful. Through divine power, the world was created and death was conquered. So we know God has the ability to carry out all His plans and will do exactly what He has said.

A promise is valuable only if the one making it is trustworthy. Our Father is truthful, faithful, loving, and all-powerful. Because we are secure in the knowledge that He will do just as He has said, we can base our entire life—every decision and action—on His promises.
