Faith and Trust--Promises of God

by Wesley Pierce  
9/22/2011 / Bible Studies

2Pet 1:3-4
3) His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
4) Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

Psa 103:8-12
8) The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
9) He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10) he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
11) For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
12) as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Psa 9:10
10) Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Isa 40:28-31
28) Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
29) He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
30) Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
31) but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Prov 3:5-6
5) Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6) in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Psa 23:1-6
1) The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2) He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3) he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4) Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5) You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6) Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Isa 41:10
10) So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Psa 37:7-11
7) Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8) Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret, it leads only to evil.
9) For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
10) A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
11) But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.

Psa 118:8
8) It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

Mat 6:31-34
31) So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
32) For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34) Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

John 16:33
33) "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

Mat 11:28-29
28) "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29) Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

John 1:12-13
12) Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God
13) children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

John 3:16
16) "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 6:40
40) For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."

John 14:27
27) Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Rom 8:28
28) And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Rom 8:35-39
35) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36) As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
37) No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38) For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39) neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Php 4:11-13
11) I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
12) I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13) I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Heb 11:1
1) Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Heb 11:6
6) And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
