IN CHRIST OUR LORD ALL GOD'S PROMISES ARE YEA AND AMEN. God's promises are sure and certain: not one can ever be broken. This is the assurance He has given His people, that He will bless them and bestow favours upon them. They all originate in His divine sovereignty and flow spontaneously from His holy will. They are but the bounties and tokens of His love, the kind expressions and manifestations of His grace. They are acts of divine condescension which bring the promiser under a bond, and prove His fatherly care of us and concern for our welfare. They all rest on the same immutable basis, even His veracity and faithfulness, and are stored up in Jesus as the precious possession of His people. They open the heart of Jehovah, challenge the faith of the Christian, and enliven the hopes of the penitent sinner. They are connected with the mediatorial office of Christ; for as Prophet He publishes them, as Priest He confirms them, and as King He fulfils them. They all belong to the same persons, believers; they have the same design, our benefit; and aim at the same end, the praise of Jehovah's grace. They all lead us to the same fountain, the fullness of Christ: and produce the same effects, even admonition, gratitude, and praise.

For Meditation:
God's promises surpass my thought,
But faithful is my changeless Lord;
In unbelief I stagger not,
For God hath spoken the timeless word.
