When Jehovah says something, does he not do it? (Num. 23:19)

One way to strengthen our faith is by meditating on the ransom. The ransom guarantees that God’s promises will be fulfilled. It is important that we take time to meditate on all that the ransom involved and why Jehovah gave it. In this way, our confidence will grow that Jehovah will bring about a better world in which we can live forever. Why do we say this?

Let us consider all that the ransom involved. Jehovah was willing to send his beloved firstborn Son, his best friend, from heaven to be born on earth as a perfect man. When Jesus was here, he had to suffer, endure many difficult situations, and die a terrible death. Without a doubt, Jehovah paid a very high price. He, who is so loving, would never have allowed his Son to go through all that suffering just to give us a better but fleeting life. (John 3:16; 1 Peter 1:18, 19) Because Jehovah paid such a high price, he will make sure that we can live forever in the new world.

According to Ephesians 3:20, what can Jehovah do?

Another way to strengthen our faith is by thinking about Jehovah’s power. He has the power to make all his promises come true. Of course, from a human standpoint, the idea of ​​living forever in the new world may seem impossible. But Jehovah often promises things that are impossible for us. After all, he is the Almighty. (Job 42:2; Mark 10:27) Do you not think it is logical that he would make extraordinary promises? (Read Ephesians 3:20.)

Mention one extraordinary promise from Jehovah.

Let us consider some of the promises Jehovah made to his servants in the past that seemed impossible to keep. He told Abraham and Sarah that they would have a son even though they were very old (Gen. 17:15-17).

He also assured Abraham that he would give his descendants the land of Canaan. But for many years Abraham's descendants, the Israelites, were slaves in Egypt, so they perhaps thought that this promise would never be fulfilled. However, it was.

On the other hand, much later, Jehovah told Elizabeth, who was very old, that she would have a son. He also assured Mary, a virgin, that she would give birth to his Son. That would fulfill a promise Jehovah had made thousands of years earlier in the garden of Eden (Gen. 3:15).

What do Joshua 23:14 and Isaiah 55:10, 11 assure us about Jehovah's power?

When we think about all the promises Jehovah made and how he fulfilled them, we see his great power. This strengthens our faith that he will bring about the new world (read Joshua 23:14; Isaiah 55:10, 11). As a result, we will be better equipped to help others understand that the promise of the new world is not a dream or a fantasy. In fact, Jehovah said the following regarding the new heaven and the new earth: “These words . . are faithful and true” (Revelation 21:1, 5).
