The Bible is Full of Thousands of God’s Promises

  • This might come as a surprise if you’re used to feeling as if the entire Bible is a strict rule book meant to oppress you versus give you joy and life.

  • In addition, God always keeps His promises.

    • Numbers 23:19 (NLT) says, “God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?” 

    • Psalm 146:6 (NLT) says, “He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever.”


1. God has Plans to Prosper You and Give You Hope 

Jeremiah 29:11 (MSG): "I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out - plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for."


2. God Promises to Give You Rest 

Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG): “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”



3. God Promises to Take Care of All of Your Needs

Philippians 4:19 (NLT): “And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.”



4. God Promises to Protect You From the Evil One

2 Thessalonians 3:3 (NLT): “But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.”



5. God Promises to Fight for You

Exodus 14:14 (NLT): “The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”


6. God Promises that Nothing Can Separate You from Him

Romans 8:38-39 (NLT): “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 


7. God Promises Eternal Life

John 3:16-17 (NLT): “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.”


8. God Promises to Answer Your Prayers

Matthew 7:7 (ESV): “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”


9. God Promises to Work Everything Out for Your Good

Romans 8:28 (NLT): “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”


10. God Promises to Comfort You

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NLT): “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.”
