Promessas
As promessas de Deus são firmes e verdadeiras. Nenhuma delas jamais falhou. A Bíblia é um livro de promessas — de amor, proteção, provisão e vida eterna para os que creem.
A fidelidade de Deus
De todas as boas promessas que o Senhor fez, nenhuma falhou. Ele é fiel para cumprir tudo o que prometeu desde a eternidade.
24 Faithful is he who has called you; who also will do it.
23 let us hold fast the confession of the hope unmoved; for he is faithful, who has promised.
4 On account of which, the greatest and most precious promises are freely given to us, that by these we might be made partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world, through lust.
Promessas de cuidado e proteção
Deus prometeu estar conosco nas águas e no fogo, fortalecer-nos e nos segurar com a destra da sua justiça. Nada nos separará do seu amor.
Promessas de salvação e vida eterna
A promessa suprema de Deus é a vida eterna em Cristo. Quem crê no Filho tem a vida eterna e a certeza da ressurreição.

5 As for the conqueror, he shall be clothed in white apparel; and I will not blot out his name from the book of life; but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
15 And, for this reason, he is mediator of the new institution, that, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first institution, those who had been called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
2 Beloved, now we are the children of God; but it does not yet appear what we shall be. However, we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him-that we shall see him as he is.3 And every one who has this hope in him purifies himself, even as He is pure.
Aliança inabalável
Desde a aliança com Noé até a nova aliança em Cristo, Deus sempre cumpre sua Palavra. Ele nos restaura e nos aperfeiçoa pela graça.
6 Besides, he has now obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better institution, which has been established upon better promises.
10 And may the God of all favor, who has called us to his eternal glory, by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, himself make you complete; support, strengthen, establish you:
9 The Lord does not delay his promise in the manner some account delaying; but he exercises long-suffering toward us, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should come to reformation.
1 Wherefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all pollution of flesh and spirit; perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
