Does God deliver on His promises?

Question
Does God deliver on His promises?
Answer
One of Best Buys slogans is: "We make technology deliver on its promises." God's promises (which deal with more than just mere technology) are more sure than Best Buy's promise — as God ALWAYS delivers upon His promises — and no one needs to make Him do it as it is a part of His holy nature. As Deuteronomy 7:9 states, "Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments." As Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5:24 "Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass."

There are other differences between God's Best Buy theology and Best Buy's philosophy. That is that God's extended warranty costs nothing more and is a real lifetime guarantee (Rom. 8:35-39). God's promises are "the" Best Buy — though they were secured by another — Christ Jesus — and given to us by grace (2 Pet. 1:3).
