Covenant Promises

Charles H. Spurgeon wrote, "The whole burden of our salvation rests upon the faithfulness of our covenant God. The whole matter of salvation is centered on the attribute of God's great faithfulness."

God is faithful to the everlasting covenant (Hebrews 13:20-21). God is faithful to covenant promises for every believer (Hebrews 8:10-13). He is faithful to keep his word of covenant promises. God has bound himself to his people forever with his oath of covenant promises.

God is faithful to covenant promises through the gospel. Jesus died on the cross as the everlasting covenant sacrifice. God is faithful to forgive and cleanse you from all sin, through the blood of Jesus (1 John 1:7-9). The power of God's covenant promises are proven forever through the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful to covenant promises in Christ. Jesus is the Yes and Amen of all the promises of God (2 Corinthians 1:20). God will not break his covenant word. He has sworn with an oath. Your faith stands upon the covenant of God's faithfulness in Christ. That's God's oath of promise. To doubt God's word in the Bible is to doubt his great faithfulness.

God is faithful to covenant promises in the Bible. Our assurance of salvation is trusting God's great faithfulness. The sure evidence is the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:9). He is every believer's covenant surety (Hebrews 7:20-22). God's great faithfulness is our sure salvation in Christ.
