2 Corinthians 1:20

God's faithfulnessJesus ChristHopePraise and worship

18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed among you by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in Him it has always been “Yes.”

For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God.

21 Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us,

22 placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.
