How can we trust God's promises today, as seen in Exodus 6:2? Remember the Verse “God also spoke to Moses and said to him, ‘I am the LORD.’” (Exodus 6:2) The Name That Anchors Every Promise • “I am the LORD”—four words that reveal God’s unchanging covenant name, YHWH. • The same God who confronted Pharaoh stands unchanged today (cf. Hebrews 13:8). • Because His character never shifts, His promises never wobble (Numbers 23:19). Looking Back: Proof in the Exodus Story • Covenant reaffirmed: “I also established My covenant with them” (Exodus 6:4). • Plagues, Red Sea, manna—each miracle fulfilled earlier words to Abraham (Genesis 15:13-14). • Outcome: Israel walks free; God’s reliability moves from theory to history. Why That History Still Matters Romans 15:4 reminds us past Scripture was “written for our instruction.” Therefore: 1. History = evidence. If He performed then, He can perform now. 2. Scripture = warranty. Every promise carries divine backing, signed with His name. 3. Christ = guarantee. “All the promises of God are ‘Yes’ in Christ” (2 Corinthians 1:20). How to Lean on His Promises Today • Read plainly. Take His words at face value; He meant what He said. • Recall specifically. Keep a list of Scripture promises; review them aloud. • Pray expectantly. Approach Him believing He hears and answers (Psalm 145:13). • Obey faithfully. Trust grows when we act on what He already revealed (James 1:22). • Share testimonies. Telling others how He kept His word strengthens everyone’s confidence. Takeaway The God who declared “I am the LORD” to Moses still bears that name. His track record in Exodus, sealed by the cross and empty tomb, assures us that every promise in His Word stands firm for us today. |
