God’s 10 Unwavering Promises to Believers
God in his righteousness and mercy gives us promises throughout the Bible, in both the New and the Old Testaments. In a Sunday service broadcast, Todd Coconato shares which Scriptures we can cling to as a promise from the Lord no matter what good or bad circumstances we may be facing.
- John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
This verse is potentially the most recognizable verse of all. Yet, we sometimes miss out on the greater promise that God is giving us through this verse.
“The promise of eternal life is the cornerstone of our faith,” Coconato says. “The promise means that death is not the end, but the beginning of a glorious eternity with our creator.
- John 14:27
“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
One of the greatest promises that we can have is the promise of God’s peace here on this earth right now.
“In a world full of chaos and uncertainty, God’s peace stands as a fortress,” Coconato says. “This peace is beyond understanding and guards our hearts and minds.”
- Philippians 4:19
“But my God shall supply your every need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
We are promised that God will give us everything we need. He is the Good Shepherd who will guide us in all of our ways. When we stay focused on Him, He will never leave us astray.
“When we seek God’s kingdom first, we ca trust that He will provide for us abundantly,” Coconato says.
- Isaiah 40:31
“But those who wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.”
“If you’ve been in a season of waiting, your strength right now is being renewed because the Word of God does not return back void. It is a lamp unto our feet. It is our daily bread,” Coconato says.
- Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.”
Coconato believes it’s not trusting in what we see in the natural, but rather trusting in God’s supernatural abilities that we must do.
“I don’t know how You’re going to do it or when You’re going to do it, but I know You’re going to do it,” Coconato says.
- Matthew 28:20
“Remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
God does not abandon His children. He stays with us at all times and in the middle of all situations.
“The promise of God’s presence assures us that we’re never alone,” Coconato says.

- 1 John 1:9
“If we confess our sins, His is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse from all unrighteousness.”
Acknowledging and repenting from our sins brings true freedom because it allows Jesus to truly be the Lord over our lives. Confessing our sins allows Jesus to change what we need Him to change.
“It’s not by works; it’s by grace, it’s by His mercy,” Coconato says.
- James 5:15
“And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.”
The promise of healing can seem like an impossibility to many, but God still heals people to this day. Sometimes it comes in a different form or way than we desired, even sometimes not being answered on this side of heaven.
“God’s promise is healing for our physical and spiritual ailments. Through faith and prayer, we can experience God’s healing touch, restoring us to wholeness,” Coconato says.
- Psalm 91:4
“He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall find protection; His faithfulness shall be your shield wall.”
“The promise assures us that safety and security is in His hands, in His care,” Coconato says.
- Romans 8:37
“In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
In Christ we discover the ultimate victory. Through Him we are forgiven and made sons and daughters of the most High King.
“This promise empowers us to face life’s battles with the confidence that we will prevail…” Coconato says.
These 10 promises are just a few of the many that God gives us to know His unending love for us.
