Today, I want to talk about how God keeps His promises. The scriptures are full of evidence that God keeps His promises. When He tells people that if they keep His commandments they will have blessings and peace and they keep His commandments He blesses them with peace and prosperity. When He tells people that if they do not repent that they will be destroyed and they don’t repent, they get destroyed. There’s a verse in the Book of Mormon that teaches that we can liken all the stories in the scriptures to ourselves. If we follow the people in the scriptures and do the things they do, we can claim the promised blessings that they received. God is fair that way.
Likening the scripture to ourselves (The Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 19:22-23)
22 Now it came to pass that I, Nephi, did teach my brethren these things; and it came to pass that I did read many things to them, which were engraven upon the plates of brass, that they might know concerning the doings of the Lord in other lands, among people of old.
23 And I did read many things unto them which were written in the books of Moses; but that I might more fully persuade them to believe in the Lord their Redeemer I did read unto them that which was written by the prophet Isaiah; for I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning.
Scripture verses:
3 Behold, I say unto you that it is my will that you should go forth and not tarry, neither be idle but labor with your might—
4 Lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, proclaiming the truth according to the revelations and commandments which I have given you.
5 And thus, if ye are faithful ye shall be laden with many sheaves, and crowned with honor, and glory, and immortality, and eternal life. (Doctrine & Covenants 75:3-5)
19 And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more. (Doctrine & Covenants 78:19)
