“For the son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us...was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” 2 Corinthians 1:19-20
In the Old Testament, God's promises could be “yea” or “nay” depending on how the people acted. At that time, they were conditional. He could take back his blessings or carry them through, based on whether the people were following God, and honouring them with their lives. Now, despite all man's efforts to mess things up, God's promises in Christ Jesus are always “yea”. His promises, plan and purpose will come to pass, no matter what. The redemptive work has been done through Jesus Christ. The price has been paid. His Word stands sure. His promises for believers are unconditional. This mercy captures my heart. Is this not amazing?
