Why does God swear an oath?

Answered in 1 source

God swears an oath to emphasize the certainty of His promises regarding salvation.

In His Word, God swears an oath to provide His people with assurance of His unchanging nature and the certainty of His promises. As outlined in Isaiah 45:23, God declares, 'I have sworn by myself,' affirming that His words will not return void. This oath serves a dual purpose: it reassures believers of their ultimate salvation and serves as a warning to those who reject Him. The solemnity of God's oath provides a firm foundation for the faith of the believer, who rests on the unwavering promise of redemption through Christ.
