12 Bible Promises to Live By
Here are 12 Bible promises that have an application to an array of different trials or circumstances of living with a biblical faith. One of my favorite quotes on this subject is from Ellen White and it is “If we commit the keeping of our souls to God in the exercise of living faith, His promises will not fail us; for they have no limit but our faith.”
So here are my top promises for a living faith, listed in no particular order and in the New International Version. After each verse you will find a referenced link to my Biblical Reflection that offers commentary on that promise.
