* For all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him Amen

2 Corinthians 1
20 For all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God through us.
 

"The first thing I notice in the text is, THE DIGNITY OF THE PROMISES. Notice the apostle's words: "For all the promises of God in Him are yes." These promises were all made according to the purpose of His own will. We sometimes read, or hear, or speak of the promises written in God's Word, but do not give them as much credit as if they were the promises of a friend, or of our father, or our brother. If we valued them more, we should believe them better. We have many proverbs to remind us what poor and frail things the promises of men are; but those of which Paul writes are "the promises of God." Men often change their minds; even the apostle did that, and therefore he was wise to try to take the thoughts of those, to whom he was writing, off from the promises even of an apostle, which were liable to change, and which might very properly not be carried out because of altered circumstances, and lead them away to the promises of God, which are unfailing and unchangeable, and are always fulfilled to His glory and to our profit."
