Men and women make promises to themselves, to each other, and to God, which they sometimes find difficult to keep. God has made promises to us, which he has kept and will continue to keep. The apostle Peter calls them "very great and precious promises" (2 Peter 1:4). James says: "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those that love Him." (James 1:12).

Paul writing to Titus speaks of "…a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, and at His appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me…." (Titus 1:2-3).

God who spoke first to Abraham (see Genesis 22:16-18; Hebrews 6:13-15) and then to all who were faithful, promises the salvation of mankind, and eternal life for all who trust and obey Him.
