Why should we believe these Biblical promises?

For one, God is very powerful and always faithful no matter what (See Romans 4:21 and Hebrews 10:23).

Another great reason to trust Him is that He does not lie. “…in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time”(Titus 1:2.)

Numbers 23:19 adds, “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill.”

Learn to trust God, hold on to His words in good and bad times.
