Learning from those who got promises

We all would like to receive great promises from God.

In fact they are available for everyone, the bible is full of such promises from God. The heavenly Father offers his love, help, forgiveness, hope, courage, strength and life in its fullness. All that and much more is available to everyone of any background, whoever humbly puts one’s trust in the Lord’s word.

What can we learn from those, to whom God originally gave those promises?
