How can we be certain that God will keep His promises, even when our circumstances seem to contradict them?

In Genesis 15, God reassures Abraham of His promises, counts him righteous through faith, reveals the future suffering and deliverance of his descendants, and solemnly establishes a covenant whose fulfillment rests upon His own faithfulness.

In this sermon, we discover three remarkable truths:

📖 The Promise Believed (vv. 1–6): Abraham is counted righteous through faith, establishing the biblical foundation of justification by faith alone.

⏳ The Future Revealed (vv. 7–16): God sovereignly ordains Israel’s affliction and deliverance, reminding us that His promises include not only blessing, but also suffering.

🔥 The Covenant Confirmed (vv. 17–21): God alone passes between the divided animals, demonstrating that His covenant promises rest upon His faithfulness, not Abraham’s ability.

Ultimately, Genesis 15 directs our attention to Jesus Christ, through whom God’s saving promises to Abraham extend to the nations. Our righteousness, salvation, and eternal hope rest not upon what we accomplish for God, but upon what God has accomplished for us in Christ.

The God who makes His promises is faithful to keep them.
