Verse By Verse Devotional On 2 Corinthians By Pastor Jack #27

Our Amen

1:20 "For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us."

The key to life is an amen. This amen is a life and death issue. This amen gets you to heaven; a failure to amen leads to the pit of hell.

Amen is a Greek expression which means, "So let it be!" It is an expression of agreement with what has been said. It is a way of lending my support and endorsement to something just spoken.

Jesus is God’s great "YES!" to all His promises of salvation and help for His people. But then comes the crucial matter: How will His people respond? Will they receive Christ as God’s "YES!", or will they reject Him? Will they say "AMEN!" to God’s Christ, or will they say, "Anathema!" ("Let him be accursed!")?

Is your life an "AMEN!" to Jesus Christ? Is your life a resounding "YES!" to God’s great "YES!"?

The "AMEN!" which comes or does not come "through us" to "the glory of God" which has been revealed in Jesus Christ is the make-or-break issue in every person’s life. Those who say "AMEN!" to Jesus plant their feet on a solid Rock. Those who refuse will be crushed by that same Rock (Matt.21:44).

The most important part of every day is whether or not we are saying "YES!" to Christ, which means saying "No" to our sinful flesh.

Oh may my life be a wholehearted and unhesitating "Yes!" to You, Lord Jesus. Move my heart to say "Yes!" to You every day in every way. May I say "Yes!" to Your love, Your promises, Your commandments and to the circumstances You have wisely and lovingly ordained for me. May my willing and ready response to You be apparent to all, so that my life is a great pointer to the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
