“Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.” - 1 Kings 8v56
Solomon looked back to God’s promise to Moses and realised that every word of God’s promises had come true. Nothing had failed and God had been faithful to His word.
There is great comfort in knowing that God keeps His promises. He will never fail for He is the God who cannot lie. In Hebrews 6 we find the account of God keeping all of His promises to Abraham based on His faith. God swore by Himself that He would keep His promises. In verse 18 we find the words that show why God keeps His promises – “it is impossible for God to lie.”
At salvation we received God’s promise to an inheritance which is incorruptible, undefiled, and that does not fade away. God is not going to go back on His promise. We can rest in absolute confidence that God will not fail in one word of His promise
