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 He is faithful who calls you and he will do it.
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he is faithful who has promised,
4 and thereby great and precious promises have been granted to us, that through them you may escape the corruption that is in the world through passion and become sharers in the divine nature,
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.

2 Beloved, we are now children of God and it is not yet plain what we shall be. But we know that if he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.3 And every one who has this hope set upon Christ purifies himself just as Christ 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.

9 The Lord is not slow about what he has promised, as some think of slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, wishing not to have any perish but to have all come to a change of heart.
