has never withdrawn what He has promised. Though the Jewish people have been scattered around the world, God promised they would return to the land He promised Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all their descendants (Zechariah 8:7-8).
Among God’s fulfilled promises was that the people of Israel would again become a nation in the land He says is theirs. This prophecy made in the Old Testament was fulfilled in May of 1948. Since then, the Jewish people have been returning home.
More examples of God’s faithfulness to keep His covenants with others are found in the following verses:
To Noah (God will save Noah and his family) – Genesis 6:17-18; 9:9-17
To Ishmael (God will bless Ishmael and his descendants) – Genesis 17:18-20
To Moses (God will spare the Israelites if they obey) – Exodus 19:5
To Jacob (God reaffirms everlasting covenant to Israel) – Psalm 105:10
There are literally dozens more scriptures of God’s faithfulness. None however may be the most life-changing as those that proclaim His forgiveness of our sins. There are many Old Testament prophecies promising a coming Messiah or Savior. God’s faithful promise was fulfilled in the New Testament when He sent Jesus to atone for our sins. No matter what sins we have committed, no matter how "bad" we are, God is faithful to forgive us if we accept Jesus and repent of our sins.
God sent His Son, (Matthew 1:21-22) through Him we have everlasting life – John 3:16
Christ died for our atonement of sin – 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10
God’s promise to remove sins – Romans 11:25-27
God ordained Jesus, author of eternal salvation – Hebrews 5:5-10
God will toss our sin into the depths of the sea (never to be remembered again) - Micah 7:18-19
