Promises of God for Christians (Free Printable)
When we struggle with doubt and discouragement as homeschool moms, we need to get into God’s Word! Focusing on the promises God gives to us as believers is a great way to “set our minds on things above and not on things of the earth.”
I was truly blessed by doing this Bible study. As I looked up all these Bible verses, I was reminded of God’s heart of unfailing love and faithfulness to us, the good news of the gospel, and the sure hope of eternal life we have as believers in Christ Jesus.
This free printable list of the promises of God (13 pages) is wonderful to put in your Morning Time notebook or display in prominent places where you are most likely to see them throughout the day. You can cut out the smaller cards to put in a frame or tape them in places you will see them frequently like the kitchen sink, bathroom mirror, or your nightstand.
Each of these Bible promises is followed by a Scripture reference (ESV) so you can look these up on your own to get a better understanding of the context of each promise.
God’s Promises about Salvation
God’s love for us is incomparable because while we were his enemies, Christ died for us and offers us salvation and eternal life.
Salvation is promised to those who call on the Lord. “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13
Salvation is a free gift of God. “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Believers have eternal life in Jesus. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
God’s Promises to Believers
There is no condemnation for those who trust Christ. “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1
We are a part of the family of God. “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone.” Ephesians 2:19
Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,’For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.’ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:35-39
Because of Jesus, we can know our heavenly Father. “And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” John 17:3
By abiding in him, our lives will be spiritually fruitful. “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
Believers who remain steadfast in suffering will receive a crown of life. “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” James 1:12
God will answer our prayers. “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:13,14
Jesus will never abandon you. “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5b
Promises of God about the Holy Spirit
God has given us the Holy Spirit to guide, comfort, and help Christians.
When Jesus ascended, he gave believers his Holy Spirit as a gift. “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.” John 14:15-17
The Holy Spirit produces fruit in our lives. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23
The Holy Spirit will guide believers into all truth. “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.” John 16:13
God’s Spririt gives (spiritual) life to our dead bodies. “If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.” Romans 8:11
Promises of God for Daily Life
The Word of God has wisdom and encouragement for every circumstance in daily life.
He cares about us. “Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” I Peter 5:7
Jesus gives us peace that the world cannot give. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. … Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” John 14:27
God comforts us in our troubles. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3,4
God will supply all your needs. “And my God will supply every need of yours according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
You can do anything God calls you to in life because Christ gives you the strength to do it. “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13
God’s Promise to Give Us Victory Over Sin
What truth can we cling to in our struggle with sin? These verses offer us incredible hope!
God will provide a way of escape in temptation. “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” I Corinthians 10: 13
He is able to keep you from stumbling. “Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy…” Jude 24
When we confess our sin after salvation, God forgives us. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I John 1:9
Sin cannot control you. “For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.” Romans 6:14
The devil will flee from you when you submit to God. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
You are a new creation in Christ. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthinans 5:17
Promises from the Old Testament
One particular thing we should be careful about as Christians is that we don’t claim promises of God that were meant for different people at different times.
These are some good questions to ask when reading a text. Who God is speaking to in this promise? Is this a promise made to a specific person or to the nation of Israel?
Although the New Testament is full of promises specifically to those who place trust in Christ, . we can also learn a lot about the heart of God from his interactions with Israel in the Old Testament.
These verses below are promises I believe we can infer from understanding God’s nature throughout the Old Testament.
God gives strength to those who wait on Him. “Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles;they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:30-31
God can give perfect peace to the one who trusts him. “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Isaiah 26:3
God will give you direction in life as you trust in Him. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not leanon your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5,6
The Lord promises blessings to those who trust in him. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, forit does not cease to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7,8
Promises of God from the Psalms
In the book of Psalms, we find a plethora of songs praising God for his character. We can relate to David as he pours out his heart to the Lord during some of the most difficult times in his life.
God is a refuge for us in times of trouble. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalms 46:10
The love of God is so great, it cannot be measured. “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him.” Psalms 103:11
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted. “The Lord is near to the broken-hearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” Psalm 34:19
God will give you the desires of your heart as you delight yourself in him. “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalms 37:4
The Lord takes pleasure in his people. “For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.” Psalm 149:4
In Him we can have complete joy and lasting pleasure. “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy, at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalms 16:11
God’s Future Promises
This list of promises includes the most important promise to believers: Jesus is coming again soon! Though life on earth may be filled with trials and suffering, it is short. Eternity is long and soon we will “ever be with the Lord.”
Jesus is coming to judge evil. “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” Jude 14b-15
Believers will inherit the kingdom that God has been preparing for them since the beginning of the world. “Then the King will say to those on his right, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” Matthew 25:34
Soon we will be with the Lord for all eternity. “Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.” I Thessalonians 4:17
Jesus is coming back soon! “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” Revelation 22:12
Revelation 12:20 “Surely I am coming soon!”
