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.
"Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.
"Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;
He who calls you isfaithful, who also will do it.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption thatis 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.
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
When you pass through the waters, I willbe with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
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.

And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just 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.

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking

For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
