2 Corinthians 1

2 Corinthians 1 (Amplified)


- v17 Now because I changed my original plan, was I being unstable and capricious? Or what I plan, do I plan according to the flesh [like a worldly man], ready to say Yes, yes, [when it may mean] No, no?

- v19 For the Son of God, Christ Jesus (the Messiah) ... was not Yes and No; but in Him it is [always the divine] Yes.

- v20 For as many as are the promises of God, they all find their Yes [answer] in Him [Christ]. For this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through Him [in His Person and by His agency] to the glory of God.

- v21 But it is God Who confirms and makes us steadfast and establishes us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and has consecrated and anointed us [enduing us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit];

- v22 [He has also appropriated and acknowledged us as His by] putting His seal upon us and giving us His [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as the security deposit and guarantee [of the fulfillment of His promise].

--------------------------------
God is stable and always says YES, and He has given us the Holy Spirit has a guarantee for that He will always do just that.
