The New Testament has 750 promises, but due to the fact that many of the promises are repeated in different books, there are only 250 separate promised benefits. Many are not in the exact form of a promise but they contain claims for gospel benefits, so they are listed as promises. Verses are listed with the first book where the promise is found.
