Bible Restoration Promises That Actually Pass

By Joanna Walsh


Right from the time of Noah to the time of the Christ, God had made a lot of promises to His children, the top promise on the list being an assured blessing to those who are obedient to Him. If you take a closer look at some of the Bible restoration promises that happened, you will realize that God was genuine about His promises to humankind. God still make promises to people until this day.

He cursed the womb of Eve, and said that the woman would be subjective to her husband. He cursed man and said that he would sweat all his life to get food to eat. You can imagine that just after He created life, the great King proclaimed death to the world, and since then, sin entered the world and the good relationship between God and man broke.

The first point in human history where God made a promise to restore humankind was at the time of Noah. God would have chosen to destroy the world, and life would no longer exist. Instead, he made a promise that He would restore the earth, and never again in heaven and earthly history destroy the world with such a big storm like he did.

Even after the first restoration, humankind kept sinning, grumbling, complaining and continuously going against the will of God. Evil has taken roots in human hearts, and so God made a law that would guide the people, gave it to Moses at Mount Sinai and instructed him to read to the people. The Ten Commandments would be a complete guide for a godly-driven life for every person in Israel.

The way was never an easy thing to follow, and God saw that this was a difficult thing for humankind for sure. He knew that the only thing that humankind needed was love and grace, and this would happen in no any other way except through salvation. Moses told the people that God would bring a savior who would be their shepherd forever, and then he was no more.

When Jesus came, he lived a good life, fought the good fight, healed the sick and talked about the message of the cross, which left many wounded hearts healed, hopeless lives hopeful and confused generation focused. And when the son of Man died and rose again, there was a new covenant created.

His birth, death and resurrection were all foretold events in Biblical history. Moses, David, Joel, Daniel and John the Baptist spoke about him and everything they said came to pass. His birth, life, betrayal, death and resurrection were all foretold. And when He rose from the dead, there was a joyous restoration of the broke relationship between God and humankind.

People would not be praying to God if they did not have an intimate relationship with him. They would not be hoping for a future kingdom of there was nothing as such. Today, you are a friend of God, and He is with you wherever you go.
