God never forgets His Word. Long ago He promised a Redeemer; and although He waited four thousand years, the promise at last was most surely fulfilled.

He promised Abraham a son; and although a quarter of a century of testing intervened, the promise at last came literally true. He promised Abraham the Land of Promise as an inheritance; and although four hundred years of trial intervened, at last the land was possessed. He promised Jeremiah that after seventy years the captives should return from Babylon; and on the very hour, the action answered to the Word. He promised Daniel that at a definite time Messiah should appear; and the most extraordinary evidence that we have to offer to the doubting Hebrew today that Jesus is his Messiah, is the literal fulfillment of the prophecy of Daniel.

Just as true are God’s promises to the believer. They are all “Yea and Amen” in Christ Jesus. He has guaranteed them. The promises of God form a great checkbook. Every one is endorsed by the Mediator, and His word and honor are pledged to their fulfillment. To make them “Yea and Amen,” you must sign your name upon the back of the promise and then personally appropriate it.

“Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” (Romans 10:11).
