What are the promises of God in the Bible to His followers?
Why do they matter?
How does knowing them change us?
Over the course of the summer, I felt God prompting me often about His promises to me. Sometimes it would be a Bible verse that just popped into my head or a lyric from a worship song or words that leapt off the page while I was reading them.
God has given us His great and precious promises to give us hope, joy, peace, wisdom and strength for whatever we are facing in our day.
It breaks my heart to know that so many Christian women out there are DESPERATE for goodness like this in their lives, but they honestly just don’t know.
They don’t know what God has promised them. They don’t know where to find a promise in the Bible. They feel doubtful if some promises are even for THEM, really.
I hope that this list of 15 promises of God in Scripture will encourage your heart today.
How many promises of God are there in the Bible?
In the book All the Promises of the Bible, the author Herbert Locklear found 7,147 promises from God to man in the Bible.
That is a lot of promises.
Which leads us to the other end of the spectrum of having an overwhelming amount of promises and not even knowing what to do with them.
That’s why I created my 30 Days to Claiming the Promises of God Bible Study carefully choosing the promises I found most powerful for today’s Christian women and spending 30 days immersed and meditating on God’s promises to us.
These promises of God are for busy moms with littles, teenage girls trying to find their way, Grandma’s looking for reminders for God’s goodness and everyone in between.

Eric, look up Bible Study Fellowship International. Put in your zip code. They have mens classes, womens classes, some with daycare. It is what I needed, the discipline to study. All classes in the US and abroad are studying the same book, chapter, verse. So you can pick up a class where ever you go. It is a very good way to study!

Teresa Rusch says
Hello,
I am praying about leading a Bible study for some ladies in my neighborhood. None of them attend church, are a wide age span, and come from very different backgrounds. I love reading about God’s promises, so thought maybe this would be a good place to start or would you recommend something else? This is a book, right?
Thank you,
Teresa
Kate says
Hi Teresa, it is a printable 30 day guided Bible study so each day there is a verse to read, Scripture writing, journaling question and worship song of the day that goes with the promise. In addition there are 3 Bible study videos where we dig deeper into the context and history of the promises and one workshop where we see some of the pitfalls that trip people up when it comes to the promises of God. I do think this is a very good intro study–we have a lot of young believers at our church and I always keep that in mind when I write my studies. 🙂 I’m happy to get you a group rate if you decide to do it!
Teresa Rusch says
I am sorry! I just saw this! I have been emailing you to order at the group rate. I just placed my order, so I can be familiar with the material before we start to meet. Would you please send me the info on how to place a group order? Thank you! I currently have 4 moms and should double that once I talk to the ladies at church.
Thank you!
