What other scriptures highlight God's fulfillment of promises like in 1 Chronicles 17:15? Setting the Scene: 1 Chronicles 17:15 “According to all these words and according to this entire vision, so Nathan spoke to David.” Nathan’s report closes the chapter with confidence that every word God spoke to David will stand. Scripture repeatedly celebrates that kind of flawless follow-through. Old-Testament Snapshots of Fulfilled Promises • Joshua 21:45 – “Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel failed; everything was fulfilled.” • 1 Kings 8:56 – Solomon praises: “Not one word has failed of all His good promises He gave through His servant Moses.” • Nehemiah 9:8 – “You have kept Your promise, for You are righteous.” • Psalm 105:8-11 – He “remembers His covenant forever… confirmed it… as an everlasting covenant.” • Isaiah 55:11 – “My word… will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please.” • Jeremiah 1:12 – “I am watching over My word to perform it.” • Ezekiel 12:25 – “I, the LORD, will speak… and it will be fulfilled without delay.” • Ezra 1:1 – The return from exile comes “in order to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah.” New-Testament Echoes of the Same Faithfulness • Luke 1:20 – Gabriel’s words to Zechariah “will be fulfilled at their proper time.” • Luke 1:45 – Mary is blessed because she “has believed that the Lord’s word… will be fulfilled.” • Luke 24:44 – “Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me.” • Acts 13:32-33 – “What God promised to our fathers He has fulfilled for us… by raising Jesus.” • 2 Corinthians 1:20 – “All the promises of God are ‘Yes’ in Christ.” • Hebrews 10:23 – “He who promised is faithful.” • 2 Peter 3:9 – “The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise…” • Revelation 21:5 – “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.” Bringing It Home The thread is unmistakable: when God speaks, history bends to His word. From Joshua’s conquest through Solomon’s temple dedication, from exile and return to the resurrection of Christ, every promise has landed exactly where God said it would. 1 Chronicles 17:15 is one link in that unbreakable chain—and the same God still watches over every syllable He has spoken, including those that anchor our hope today. |
