Covenant Promises

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

    God Almighty is a covenant God. His very being, character, and attributes, makes his Word, purpose, promises, and covenant unalterable and everlasting. The Godhead, the Father, Son and Spirit, are inseparable in the scheme and execution of all things in time and eternity. The Lord Jesus Christ is that manifestation of the invisible Godhead. In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily (Col 2:9). It is in Christ our Redeemer that we see God’s purpose of grace for his elect, his promise to his people, and the glory of his accomplishment. You see, there is nothing in the way of grace contrived by vain mankind. The way of salvation, and the execution of salvation of chosen sinners, is the fulfillment of the covenant of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit. Who are we, that we should imagine entering into this divine wisdom and work of the Almighty?

    As far as God is concerned, All the work of Christ is done—For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world (Heb 4:3). The sum of God’s covenant promises is fulfilled in Christ our Lord in one declaration; For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us (2 Cor 1:20). Dear child of God, rest assured that when Christ said, It is finished,it is finished! In him is our assurance of the enjoyment of the everlasting salvation of our soul.
