You can have faith in God and your faith will not fail

Heb 6:16-19

“Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us

may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.

I want to give you one more reason why you can have faith in God and your faith will not fail. God swore to you! Yes God swore to you. Before we look at why he swore, I want you to understand what it means that God swore.  In Matthew 5:34, we are told not to swear at all. Moreover, in James it is said anything more letting your yes be yes and your no being no is sin. This means what God asked you and I not do He did. Why did He do that? For two main reasons:

Firstly, because He wanted to make very clear to you that He does not change and if He does not change, His promise too will not change or fail. Secondly, that you will be encouraged to hold on to the promise.

Now, what does this oath mean? It is to settle all arguments that you might have about whether the word or promise will come to pass or not. It is also to be a confirmation to you. Why would God go this far just so that you can hold unto His word? It is because He loves you. So know today that your faith will not fail.
