FULFILLED PROMISES

PALOMESI ‘OKU FAKAHOKO

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20

No matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ.

1 KOLINITO 1:20

He neongo pe ‘oku fiha ‘a e ngaahi tala‘ofa ‘a e ‘Otua, ka ‘oku tu‘u kotoa pē ‘iate ia hono ‘Io; ko ia ‘oku fou ‘iate ia foki hono ‘Ēmeni; ke ai ha ongoongolelei ‘e hoko ki he ‘Otua ‘iate kimautolu.

 

Sola Scriptura - Scripture Alone - Ko e Folofola´ pe    

If He is our God, we can say assuredly that His virtues are ours, and that there is nothing in them which does not contribute to our salvation. For example, if God is all-good, it is to do us well. If He is all-wise, it is to guide us. If He is all-powerful, it is to defend us. If He is just, it is to avenge Himself of our enemies. If He is merciful, it is to pardon our crimes. If He is faithful, it is to grant us the fulfillment of His promises.

Finally (not to prevent us from considering His other excellent virtues, for the sake of which both men and angels exult in admiration), if He is all-powerful and sufficient for Himself, it is to assure us that He will also be so for us, and that there is nothing we could desire which we would not find in this inexhaustible spring of good things. On this all those excellent promises are founded, which God gives us in His Word, of which there is none that does not relate to one of these glorious attributes.
