For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 6:13-20 ESV)
Have you ever had someone or some product was 100% satisfaction guaranteed? And if so, were you?
I mean that is a pretty large bill to hold up. That every person that uses/eats this product will be 100% satisfied. I highly doubt we all want to exact same results or tastes even though it is probably clearly states how it will work or taste. We see we will be satisfied and know it will be good…
Not always and the world and its products will let us down. We will not be 100% satisfied with anything the world gives us, we are not hardwired that way.
But the passage above from Hebrews tells us that we cab trust in God. And He has even sworn an oath that the promises He made He will keep. Not just a promise or a guarantee but an oath or a 100% satisfaction guaranteed promise. Not that you will always be happy or get everything you want. But something even better. Everything God promised will be the way He promised and He will always be with us!
