“Jesus Christ is the Son of God… and He has never been both a “yes” and a “no.” He has always been and always will be for us a resounding “YES!” For all of God’s promises find their “yes” of fulfilment in Him. And as His “yes” and our “amen” ascend to God, we bring Him glory!” (2 Corinthians 1:19-20)

What can be surer than the promises of God fulfilled through Christ? NOTHING! Hebrews 8:6 says: “But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for He is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises.” Hallelujah! The NIV renders verse 20 this way: “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ. And so through Him the ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God.” The Holy Spirit reveals that Christ has never been both a YES and a NO. If He has said YES, so shall it be! The word translated ‘YES” is an affirmative response or decision. So, it carries certainty. So, when God speaks, it is a YES, and it will be so. Another accompanying goodness in all these is this: “Now, it is God himself who has anointed us. And He is constantly strengthening both you and us in union with Christ” (2 Corinthians 1:21).

How should we respond? Revelations 22:20 demonstrates how. Jesus said: “Yes, I am coming quickly.” That’s a promise, and John responded: *“Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!” John believed and subsequently wrote the book of Revelations. We speak our AMEN to all the promises of God. “The ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God.”
