God’s promises are always fulfilled because he does not lie. God makes many promises in the Bible for all who love him. Our God is faithful and therefore we can trust that he will fulfill everything he has said.
God promises to forgive all the sins of those who accept Jesus as their Savior. He promises to be with us and help us overcome all difficulties. It also promises that the Holy Spirit will guide us and that in the end we will have eternal life with him, free from sin and suffering.
Here are some of the many promises that we find in the Bible. Meditate on them and you will see how they will strengthen you and help you to have more confidence in God.
God’s promises in the Bible
1. Keeping your promises
God is not a mere mortal to lie and change his mind. Does he not keep what he promises or carry out what he says?
— Numbers 23:19
Men can lie to us and fail us, but God always keeps what he promises and we can trust his faithfulness. If he says that he will do something, we know that he will do it.
2. Eternal life in Jesus
And the testimony is this: that God has given us eternal life, and that life is in his Son.
— 1 John 5:11
God doesn’t just give us promises that we can enjoy now. He also promises to give us eternal life through Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross. We just have to accept that we are saved through Jesus. When we open our hearts to him in repentance and acknowledge him as our Lord and Savior, we receive his forgiveness and begin a new life led by him.
3. The forgiveness of our sins
If we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
— 1 John 1:9
God gives us a new beginning when we approach him with a repentant heart and ask his forgiveness for the wrong things we have done. He promises to forgive us all our past mistakes and help us change. With him we can begin a new life with Jesus as our Savior and Lord.
4. Provision
So my God will provide you with everything you need, according to the glorious riches that he has in Christ Jesus.
— Philippians 4:19
God promises to provide abundantly so that we can meet all our needs. He does not promise to grant us everything we want, but he will give us what is really necessary to live: food, shelter, clothing, sustenance.
5. Rest
Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
— Matthew 11:28
It is good to know that we can take all our anxieties and worries to God and he gives us rest. We do not need to carry our sorrows, we can give them to God and rest in him.
6. Jesus
Days will come, declares the Lord, when I will fulfill the promise of blessing that I made to the people of Israel and to the tribe of Judah. In those days, and at that time, I will cause David to sprout a righteous branch, and he will practice justice and justice in the land. In those days Judah will be safe, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. And she will be called thus: ‘The Lord is our righteousness’.
— Jeremiah 33:14-16
The birth of Jesus was the fulfillment of the promise of blessing, the arrival in Israel of justice, law, salvation and security. Today we also find all that and much more in Jesus.
7. The Holy Spirit
Once, while eating with them, he ordered them: Do not go far from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, of which I have spoken to you: John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
— Acts 1:4-5
Jesus promised and sent the Holy Spirit to the early Church. Thus they received power to be witnesses of Jesus throughout the world (Acts 1:8). We too have the Holy Spirit and power to bring God’s love and presence wherever we go.
8. Blessing and offspring
When God made his promise to Abraham, since he had no one superior by whom to swear, he swore by himself, and said, “I will greatly bless you and multiply your offspring.” And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham received what he had been promised.
— Hebrews 6:13-15
We can trust that, as God fulfilled the promise of blessing and descendants that he made to Abraham, he will also fulfill the promises that he makes to us. He also wants to bless us and make us fruitful in all areas of our lives.
9. Salvation
Come back to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by myself, with integrity I have spoken an irrevocable word: Before me every knee will bow, and by me every tongue will swear.
— Isaiah 45:22-23
God provided the salvation of our souls through Jesus. He wants all of us to be saved, he longs for us to come to him and accept his forgiveness. He also says in advance that either now or later, we will all bow our knee to him.

10. The Crown of Life
Blessed is he who resists temptation because, upon being approved, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
— James 1:12
The crown of life mentioned here and in Revelation 2:10 is the prize promised to those who endure and remain faithful to the end in the face of trials, temptations, and persecution.
11. Peace
I have told you these things so that in me you may find peace. In this world you will face afflictions, but take heart! I have overcome the world.
— John 16:33
In our earthly life we have many sorrows and afflictions, but in Christ we find the peace we need to move forward without fainting. He already won the victory and that is our peace.
Choose to believe God and his promises! He will never fail you!
