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 stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do it.
23 may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful is He who did promise),
4 through which to us the most great and precious promises have been given, that through these you may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in desires.
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 He who is overcoming -- this one -- shall be arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of the life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before His messengers.
15 And because of this, of a new covenant he is mediator, that, death having come, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those called may receive the promise of the age-during inheritance,
2 beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;3 and every one who is having this hope on him, does purify 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 and now he has obtained a more excellent service, how much also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better promises has been sanctioned,
10 And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you;
9 the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,
