101 Powerful Promises In The B

Discover 101 powerful promises of God to lift your spirits.

101 Most Powerful Promises in the Bible brings together those passages that convey God’s boundless and eternal love for his creation and his creatures.

Thank God! Thank him that he is not a man, that he does not lie or change his mind. Unlike our flesh-and-blood friends unlike ourselves God does not break his promises. Nor does he make them lightly. No, when God says he’s going to do something, you can count on him to make good on it. The Creator of the universe does exactly what he says he is going to do.

And he says it frequently, underscoring our need to be told over and over again that he means what he says. Still, we live in utter disbelief that he could possibly love us as much as his promises imply. So he scatters them abundantly throughout the Bible, knowing we need the constant reassurance that he is not like our promise-breaking friends not like ourselves.

Some of those promises, of course, he made to specific people at specific times, such as this one to Joshua: “No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you” ( Josh.1:5). But as a man of unwavering faith in God, Joshua represents faithful believers; the underlying principle of God’s promise to Joshua applies to all his faithful followers.

The fact is, we can’t read his Word for very long without coming across yet another ironclad guarantee from the Father. 101 Most Powerful Promises in the Bible pulls many of those guarantees together for you. Do you need to believe God can heal you physically? That he can help you overcome depression or resist temptation? That he will answer your prayers and give you guidance? You don’t have to wait until you happen to come across those assurances in your daily reading. Just turn to the devotional in this app that addresses your immediate need. You’ll find a Bible verse that expresses a promise God has made regarding that need, some thoughts on how you can apply that promise to your life today, a suggested prayer, and references pointing to additional verses that pertain to your situation. You might also consider reading the devotionals in a systematic way, so you’ll be familiar with the key promises God has made to you in his Word. After all, you can’t claim his promises if you don’t know what they are.

Once you become familiar with the scriptural guarantees, you need to follow up by believing the foundational promise that God will in fact do what he says he will do. In laying hold of that truth, you exhibit the kind of faith that God says is necessary to inherit all of his assurances (Heb. 6:11–12). When you begin to inherit his promises when you start living as if he means what he says you will experience his love to a depth and a degree you never thought possible. And you will finally be able to exchange your utter disbelief for the inexpressible security of his love.
