What does it mean that God's promises are 'yea and amen'?

Answered in 1 source

'Yea and amen' signifies that God's promises are absolutely certain and trustworthy through Jesus Christ.

'Yea and amen' conveys the idea of affirmation and fulfillment in the context of God's promises. This phrase, particularly noted in 2 Corinthians 1:20, signifies that all God's declarations are not mixed with uncertainty; rather, they are trustworthy and established through Jesus Christ. When Paul states that God's promises are 'yea', he indicates that they are confirmed and assured. The 'amen' denotes that these promises are final and will come to pass, pointing to the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His word to His people as an act of divine grace.
