BIBLE VERSE: ” For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.—————— –2 Corinthians 1:20
BIBLE THOUGHT: The word “AMEN” means “sure” or truly,” an expression of absolute trust and confidence. When one believes God, he indicates his faith by an “amen.” When God makes a promise, the believer’s response is “amen”–When we pray according to His Word and His will, we know God will answer, (1 John 5:7) so we close with an “amen,” and so also do we conclude a great hymn or anthem of praise and faith. The word is even a title of Christ Himself. The last of His letters to the seven churches begins with a remarkable salutation by the glorified Lord: “And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;”(Revelation 3:14). We can be preeminently certain that His Word is always faithful and true, because He is none other than the Creator of all things, and thus He is our eternal “Amen.” As the verse reminds us, every promise of God in Christ is “yea and amen,” as strong an affirmation of truth as can be expressed in the English language. It is, therefore, profoundly meaningful that the entire Bible closes with an “amen!”
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: ”The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.” —Revelation 22:21 — Last chapter, last verse, last words.
