SCRIPTURAL DECLARATIONS

SCRIPTURES PROMISES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT

There are 750 promises in the New Testament, but only 250 separate benefits due to the fact that many of the promises are repeated in different books. Some are not in the form of a promise, but the truths they contain make the basis of our claims for gospel benefits, so they are listed as promises. Generally, verses are listed with the book wherein the promise is found first.
