    Frequently Asked Questions

    Has God ever broken a promise?

    Never. Joshua 21:45 declares that 'not one of all the good promises the Lord had made to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.' God's track record across thousands of years of human history is unblemished. He is the only Being in existence with a 100% promise-keeping record.

    Why do some promises seem unfulfilled?

    Some promises are conditional (requiring our obedience or faith), some are fulfilled differently than we expected, and some are still being fulfilled in God's timing. What appears unfulfilled to us may simply be 'not yet' rather than 'not ever.' God's perspective is eternal.
