Vietnam Evangelical Covenant Church – The Bible is the Word of God, with power to change anyone’s life. God’s Word tells us the source of every promise in Scripture:
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”
– 2 Timothy 3:16 (BSB)
Based on this truth, we are confident that the promises of God in the Bible come from God Himself, and He will faithfully fulfill them. Join us in the hymn “Standing on the Promises,” or click here to listen to the song.

– Jeremiah 29:11 (BSB)

This is a very practical promise of God: He supplies every need, not according to our riches, but according to His.
6. Romans 8:37–39
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
– Romans 8:37–39 (BSB)

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Eternal life is God’s gift, not a wage we earn ourselves.
Standing Firm on the Promises of God
God’s promises are not pretty sayings to hang on the wall. They are words He has spoken and will keep, because He is faithful. Some promises are fulfilled in this life; others we will see completely on the day the Lord returns. Our part is to trust, obey and wait patiently.
Choose one of the promises above to memorize this week. When difficulties come, repeat that promise in prayer: “Lord, You have promised…” That is how believers through the generations have stood firm in faith.
God’s Word is powerful and wonderful. We pray that God will keep your faith strong through His promises, so that you may live fruitful days on this earth.
