Connect 2 Corinthians 1:20 with another scripture about God's promises. Christ Is God’s Resounding Yes “For all the promises of God are ‘Yes’ in Christ. And so through Him, our ‘Amen’ is spoken to the glory of God.” • Every pledge God has ever made finds its fulfillment in Jesus. • Christ is not merely the messenger of God’s promises; He is the embodiment and guarantee of them. • Our “Amen” (literally, “so be it”) rises in response, echoing confidence that what God has spoken is already settled. Hebrews 10:23—Holding Fast to the Promise “Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” • If 2 Corinthians 1:20 shows the source of the promises (Christ), Hebrews 10:23 focuses on our posture toward them (steadfast hope). • The faithfulness of the Promiser, not the fervor of our grip, secures the promise. • Because every promise is locked in by Christ’s “Yes,” we can cling without wavering. Threading the Two Verses Together 1. God speaks a promise. 2. Christ answers, “Yes.” 3. We answer back, “Amen.” 4. We keep holding on, assured that “He who promised is faithful.” A Quick Tour of Supporting Scriptures • Numbers 23:19—God does not lie or change His mind; what He promises, He performs. • Joshua 21:45—“Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel had failed; everything was fulfilled.” • Romans 4:20-21—Abraham was “fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.” • 2 Peter 1:4—He has given “His precious and magnificent promises” so we may share in the divine nature. Walking in the Reality of His Promises Today • Speak your “Amen” daily—align your thoughts, words, and choices with what God has already said “Yes” to in Christ. • Let Hebrews 10:23 steady you when circumstances shake; the promise stands because the Promiser stands. • Celebrate every glimpse of fulfillment—each answered prayer is an echo of 2 Corinthians 1:20, a fresh reason to declare another “Amen” to the glory of God. |
