Definition of a promise

There are a total of twenty-seven promises in the Bible that God made. Out of these, six are unconditional promises, meaning that no matter what happens, God will always keep His promise to His people. These six promises are found in the opening of the Bible, in the book of Genesis. The remaining seventeen promises are conditional promises, meaning that if certain conditions are met, God will fulfill His promise. These conditions can vary, but some common examples are repentance (for example, Jonah 3:10), faith (for example, James 2:17), and obedience (for example, James 2:12).

Overview of the Bible

There are over 200 promises in the Bible that God made. Out of these, about half are conditional promises, meaning that if a certain condition is met, the promise will be fulfilled. For example, God says in Jeremiah 31:33-34, "But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." If the house of Israel keeps their part of the covenant, then God will put His law within them and write it on their hearts. This means that they will have a personal relationship with God and be able to understand His commands.
