What did Paul mean by saying all promises are yes in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Paul meant that every promise of God finds its affirmation and fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

When Paul states that all promises are 'yes' in Christ in 2 Corinthians 1:20, he emphasizes that Jesus embodies the fulfillment of God's covenantal assurances. This concept highlights that God's redemptive purpose is centered on Christ, thereby uniting the Old and New Testament promises into a single promise realized through Him. Rather than viewing each promise as a standalone entity, Paul invites us to see Christ as the living affirmation of God's faithfulness, ensuring that through Him, believers have access to all spiritual blessings.
