« Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away »
NKJV For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
KJV For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
NLT For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.
AMB For as many as are the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “Yes.” So through Him we say our “Amen” to the glory of God.
CEV Christ says “Yes” to all God’s promises. This is why we have Christ to say “Amen” for us to the glory of God.
The word of God is yea and Amen (2 Corinthians 1:20).
Therefore, we should take note of all the futuristic sayings of Jesus Christ, because they shall surely come to pass.
I have told the story of a mad man who daily used a cutlass to harass people into giving him food. His regular victims were market women. Brandishing his cutlass, he would ask “If you think I can’t cut off your head, and I do, what would you do?” The woman, in terror, would quickly give him some food and be on their way. One day however, he came across a woman who replied, “I won’t give you anything today; you can do your worst”. In anger, the lunatic hit his cutlass on the woman’s head, but thankfully, only managed to chop off her ears. There was pandemonium throughout the market.
Beloved, if the lunatic made good his threat, what do you think of the integrity and words of the One who commanded the heaven and the earth to be and they were?
When He said that the wages of sin is death in Romans 6:23, we had better believe it before it is too late.
The reason is that He also said it is appointed for men to die once, but after this, the judgment (Hebrews 9:27).
At times, children of God may want to prove to be more knowledgeable than their Heavenly Father, as in the case of the disciples and their spokesperson- Peter (Mark 14:30,31 and 32).
It is interesting to note that Jesus had earlier said in Mark 13:31NKJV
« Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away »
The Lord spoke through His holy angels in Acts 1:11NKJV
« who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” »
Our attitude towards God’s demand for holiness will become positive if we believe that Jesus is coming back to judge both the living and the dead alike, according to 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 and Revelation 22:12.
The certainty of the knowledge of Jesus’ second coming will help us stay in the path of righteousness, living a life that is holy and acceptable unto the Lord (Romans 12:1-2).
Application – Make up your mind that you will believe and live according to the word of God.
