How can Hebrews 6:13 encourage you during times of doubt or uncertainty?

Promise anchored in God’s oath

(for when God made His promise to Abraham… He swore by Himself. Hebrews 6:13)

- This verse places total confidence in God’s unchanging character; He swears by Himself because there is no higher authority.

- The unbreakable nature of the oath reminds us that what God says will happen, happens.

- Doubt shrinks as we remember the literal truth that God cannot contradict His own word.

Why that matters when you feel unsure

- Feelings shift; God’s sworn promise does not.

- He kept His word to Abraham over centuries; He will keep every word to all who trust Christ.

- Hebrews 6:18 adds, “impossible for God to lie”. Put both statements together and the foundation under your faith becomes rock-solid.

Living it out today

• Rehearse the promise aloud when anxious.

• Record past moments when God proved faithful; let them echo the Abraham story.

• Compare every doubt to the greater reality of God’s oath; doubt always comes up short.

• Lean on related passages—Numbers 23:19, Romans 4:20-21, 2 Corinthians 1:20—that confirm the same truth.

• Rest, choosing to believe that the God who swore by Himself will finish what He started in you.
