Genesis 17:8
17:8 I will give the whole land of Canaan – the land where you are now residing
– to you and your descendants after you as a permanent
possession. I will be their God.”
Genesis 26:3
26:3 Stay
in this land. Then I will be with you and will bless you,
for I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants,
and I will fulfill
the solemn promise I made
to your father Abraham.
Psalms 105:9-10
105:9 the promise he made to Abraham,
the promise he made by oath to Isaac!
105:10 He gave it to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as a lasting promise,
Luke 1:72-73
1:72 He has done this to show mercy to our ancestors,
and to remember his holy covenant –
1:73 the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham.
This oath grants
Hebrews 6:16-18
6:16 For people
swear by something greater than themselves,
and the oath serves as a confirmation to end all dispute.
6:17 In the same way
God wanted to demonstrate more clearly to the heirs of the promise that his purpose was unchangeable,
and so he intervened with an oath,
6:18 so that we who have found refuge in him
may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.
