Foreword: The God who Makes Promises

…by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises… (2 Peter 1:4)

God makes promises. He gives Himself and every good gift to us with a word, a pledge.

Faith is born in these promises. Hope comes alive. We live with joy and peace in the confidence that “God cannot lie” (Hebrews 6:18). His Word of promise is our life.

Commenting on the faith that sustained Jacob in exile, Luther says:

When we are absolved from sins, we have the Word, which is founded and stands firm on the promises of God. But do we not experience the very opposite and undergo very great conflicts against the devil, death, hell, and our understanding? Although this pains the flesh very much, yet in the meantime God faithfully fulfills His promises for those who believe and wait in patience, as is stated in the Epistle to the Hebrews: “Through faith the saints conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, received promises” (Hebrews 11:33). (Luther’s Works 5:235)

Walking by faith is not walking by sight, and God’s promises are often on the way. It is good, then, for us to put the promises of God before us, and meditate on them, use them to shape our prayers, and find our confidence and comfort in these words.

God’s promises are powerful, so a few warnings are in order.

Danger 1: The promise is misapplied. Some promises are specific, and are not to be applied universally. “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and you will be with child” is not a promise for you or me. Some promises are connected to particular people, places, or circumstances, which must be carefully noted.

Danger 2: The promise is misused. God’s promises are always pressing us to repentance, faith, and love, and not away from the same. The Old Testament prophets often found the people misusing God’s promises. “God promised the Messiah would be in Jerusalem, therefore we should not worry about Jerusalem being destroyed.” But God can destroy the city and raise it up. He cuts down the tree and lets the Branch sprout from the stump of Jesse.

God’s promises are misused to defend a hard heart, avoid repentance, remain in despair, or avoid the claim of love.

Danger 3: The promise is misunderstood. This danger is apparent when temporal promises are taken up by the sinful flesh. God has not promised an easy life without suffering. The opposite is true. “In this world you will have tribulation” (John 16:33). Promises of healing, of success, of prosperity are regulated by our trust that the Lord knows best what to send us and when. Trusting the promises is also trusting the judgment of the One who has given the promises.

Danger 4: The promise is missed. With the three proceeding cautions in mind, we come to the greatest danger: that the promises would be missed. Do we think that God was talking to someone else, that the promise was not meant for us, that we don’t deserve it, that we are forgotten, that there is no help for us.

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life, (Romans 5:9-10).

It is especially in times of trouble that we look to the promises of deliverance. When we are hungry we look to the promises of food. When we are at war we look to the promises of peace. When we are sick we look to the promises of healing and patience. And all through our lives we poor sinners look to the promises of God’s grace and mercy.

It is good and right to hold God’s promises before our eyes and in our hearts, and to hold them up to the Lord in our prayers.

To that end, in 1720, Samuel Clarke (an English Clergyman who lived from 1684-1759), collected various Scriptural promises under different headings and published them as Precious Bible Promises. The text published here is the first of the four parts of that book.

The Scripture passages remain in the original King James. I hope this is helpful in setting the words apart in our minds and aids in our meditation. May God grant it for Christ’s sake.

He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23)
