In the Old Testament, God made promises about redemption, restoration, a coming Savior, and a new covenant. Paul declares that the Lord answered those promises with a resounding \u201cYes\u201d in Christ, who did all those things for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God\u2019s promises, recorded by 40 authors over 1500 years, have no uncertainty. Jesus confirms and fulfills them with His life, death, and resurrection. The more you study the scriptures, the more you realize the truth: what the Lord has spoken, He has completed or guaranteed through Jesus. We have hope, not in possibilities, but in fulfilled reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAmen\u201d means \u201cso be it\u201d or \u201cit is true.\u201d Therefore, we can respond to God\u2019s faithfulness with trust and agreement. Our \u201cAmen\u201d declares our faith, giving a worshipful response to what God has already done. Through Jesus, we can believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, fulfilled promises glorify God by revealing His faithfulness and trustworthy character. Our lives become testimonies of His goodness. Living our lives by trusting in the Creator\u2019s promises will give us confidence as we reflect His glory to others. We serve a reliable Savior who does what He says He will do. Not only does Jesus give us salvation, but also confidence in our faith, knowing that God fulfills His promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t serve a fragile God whose words we can\u2019t trust. Over thousands of years, the Lord\u2019s Word has prevailed. Christ gives us secured realities, both the guarantee of God\u2019s promises and the bridge through which we respond in faith. Our Savior not only made a way for us to enjoy eternity with Him, but He also gave us reason to trust through the fulfillment of promises made thousands of years before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cling to the Lord\u2019s promises. Trust that He will fulfill them in your life, at the right time, in the right way. God\u2019s plan continues to unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Reflection:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Where do you find yourself waiting on God\u2019s promises in your life?
