Scriptures About the
Promises of God
Who
are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the
covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises.
Romans 9:4
Now
I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of
God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. Romans 15:8
2
Corinthians 1:20-22
20 For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and
in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ,
and hath anointed us, is God;
22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest
of the Spirit in our hearts.
Having
therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all
filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2
Corinthians 7:1
Now
to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as
of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Galations 3:16
Hebrews
6:12-15
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them
who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because
he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and
multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he
obtained the promise.
But
he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and
blessed him that had the promises. Hebrews 7:6
But
now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the
mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Hebrews 8:6
Hebrews
11:13-18
13 These all died in faith, not having received
the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and
embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the
earth.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly
that they seek a country.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that
country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have
returned.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is,
an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath
prepared for them a city.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up
Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy
seed be called:
Who
through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions. Hebrews 11:33
Whereby
are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might
be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the
world through lust. 2 Peter 1:4
Blessed
be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that
he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he
promised by the hand of Moses his servant. 1 Kings 8:56
For
he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. And he brought forth
his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness. Psalms 105:42-43
And,
behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of
Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Luke 24:49
Acts
1:4-5
4 And, being assembled together with them,
commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the
promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye
shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Therefore
being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the
promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
Acts 2:33
For
the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off,
even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:39
Of
this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Savior,
Jesus. Acts 13:23
Acts
13:32-33
32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that
the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their
children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the
second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
For
the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to
his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Romans 4:13
Romans
4:17-22
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of
many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead,
and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he
might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So
shall thy seed be.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not
his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the
deadness of Sara's womb:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through
unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had
promised, he was able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for
righteousness.
Romans
9:8-9
8 That is, They which are the children of the
flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are
counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time
will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
That
the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that
we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galations 3:14
But
the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus
Christ might be given to them that believe. Galations 3:22
And
if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the
promise. Galations 3:14
Galations
4:22-23
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons,
the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after
the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Now
we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. Galations 4:28
Eph
1:13-14
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard
the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye
believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until
the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
That
the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his
promise in Christ by the gospel. Ephesians 3:6
Ephesians
6:2-3
2 Honor thy father and mother; (which is the
first commandment with promise;)
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest
live long on the earth.
For
bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things,
having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 1 Timothy
4:8
Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life
which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 1:1
Hebrews
4:1-11
1
Let us
therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of
you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as
unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with
faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest,
as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest:
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh
day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter
into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must
enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of
unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in
David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his
voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he
not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people
of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also
hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that
rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Hebrews
6:13-15
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because
he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and
multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he
obtained the promise.
Hebrews
6:17-20
17 mutability of his
counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was
impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled
for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul,
both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even
Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
And
for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death,
for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament,
they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Hebrews
9:15
For
ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might
receive the promise. Hebrews 10:36
Hebrews
11:9-11
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise,
as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the
heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath
foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sarah herself received
strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age,
because she judged him faithful who had promised.
The
Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
2
Peter 3:13-14
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look
for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for
such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot,
and blameless.
And
this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 1 John 2:25
The
Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and
bless you, as he hath promised you! Deuteronomy 1:11
Deuteronomy
6:3-9
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it;
that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord
God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and
honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day,
shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy
children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when
thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine
hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy
house, and on thy gates.
For
the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto
many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many
nations, but they shall not reign over thee. Deuteronomy 15:6
And
if the Lord thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and
give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers. Deuteronomy

26:18

thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed
over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee,
a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the Lord God of thy fathers hath
promised thee. Deuteronomy 27:3
One
man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God, he it is that
fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. Joshua 23:10
And
now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast
promised this goodness unto thy servant. 2 Samuel 7:28
Jeremiah
33:14-16
14 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I
will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and
to the house of Judah.
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause
the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute
judgment and righteousness in the land.
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and
Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be
called, The Lord our righteousness.
Romans
4:19-22
19 And being not weak in
faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred
years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through
unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had
promised, he was able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for
righteousness.
Titus
1:1-2
1 Paul, a servant of
God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and
the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

lie, promised before the world began.
Let
us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful
that promised. Hebrews 10:23
Through
faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered
of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had
promised. Hebrews 11:11

crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. James 1:12

my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith,
and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? James
2:5
And
this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 1 John 2:25
God
is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should
repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he
not make it good? Numbers 23:19
Habakkuk
2:2-3
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the
vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time,
but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of

13:20-21

the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of
the everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his
will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus
Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
It is God's will that no one should perish (end up in hell), but that ALL should come to repentance.
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
