God’s Yes in Jesus

God’s Yes in Jesus

Read: 2 Corinthians 1:19–20
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in Him it is always Yes. For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him. That is why it is through Him that we utter our Amen to God for His glory.

All the promises of God find their Yes in Jesus Christ.

Think about these promises:

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)
“Whoever comes to me I will never cast out.” (John 6:37)
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.” (1 John 1:9)
“Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:38–39)
“Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
“He who began a good work in you will carry it to completion.” (Philippians 1:6)
“Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Every promise God has made finds its fulfillment in Jesus.
Not partially. Not temporarily. Not conditionally based on your performance.

In Christ, God’s answer is “Yes.”

That means when your heart says:
“I’ve failed too much” — Jesus says, “My grace is sufficient.”
“I don’t know if God wants me” — Jesus says, “Come to me.”
“I feel abandoned” — Jesus says, “I am with you always.”
“I don’t know if I can change” — Jesus says, “My Spirit is in you…transforming you.”

The Christian life is built on trusting the promises of God more than the accusations of our feelings.

While everyone else may let us down, we can know that God’s promises are always true!

What promise do you need to cling to today?
Salvation? Presence? Forgiveness? Strength? Hope?
