No One Greater

When God made a promise to Abraham, he sealed that promise with an oath. Now for us we swear by something greater than ourselves. But since there is no one greater than God he swore the oath to himself. The same is true concerning the promise he made to you. The New Covenant. He guaranteed this covenant with an oath. And oath that shows you as an heir of his promise the unchangeable, unshakable character of his purpose for you. Which means that when Christ through his sacrifice made you perfect, He made you perfect forever. His oath guarantees that this is true of you eternally. Now the writer of Hebrews calls this oath the stedfast anchor or your soul. I call it good news.
