The Bible is simply jam-packed with promises made to us by God. On the grand scale, God’s ultimate promise is to restore and renew all things. (In Revelation 21:5 God tells us, “Behold, I am making all things new.”) There are many details of what this restoration will look like, and what God promises us here and now. When we start digging into the promises of God in the Bible, we find that he promises us many things:
- his help and guidance,
- his faithfulness,
- our salvation,
- wisdom,
- peace, joy, and love,
- riches in heaven,
- adoption into his family,
- strength and power,
- his provision,
- eternal life,
- deliverance (from enemies, from danger, from temptation),
- healing,
- and renewal.
Knowing the promises of God can help us in our daily lives, to be able to navigate both big and small decisions, and to conquer fear, temptation, and danger.
Nehemiah was able to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem in 445BC because he knew the promises of God and was able to confidently claim those promises as his own.
Jesus, too, was able to defeat the devil during his 40 days of temptation in the desert because he knew the Scriptures.
When we know what God has promised us, we can confidently claim those things in our own lives.
Here are 162 promises of God that you can claim in your life.

God’s Promises to Israel
We can think of the Bible as a grand story of our creation, our decision to turn away from God, and God’s rescue mission to restore and redeem all things. In the Old Testament, we see God walk with the people of Israel and promise them salvation, freedom, and redemption. These things come in a form that the Israelites don’t expect: instead of a conqueror who defeats the Roman Empire and gives the Israelites freedom here and now, Jesus overturns the power structures of the world and defeats Satan and death itself, taking up all of humanity and bringing us close, again, to God himself.
All of the promises of God that we find in the Bible are based on this grand narrative and the promises that God made to Israel for salvation, freedom, and redemption.
- The almighty LORD God of Israel promises salvation and righteousness (Isaiah 45:1-13)
- The Sovereign LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel promises freedom (Isaiah 48:12-22)
- The LORD promises to reestablish the land of Israel (Isaiah 49:8-26)
- The LORD will comfort Israel again and rescue those who trust in him (Isaiah 51:1-23)
- The Messiah will bring them out of darkness and captivity unto light and freedom (2 Nephi 3:5)
