Many times we hear a word from God from the man of God or woman of God and we say amen. But how many of us really know why we say amen?
So that you know for yourself and so that you don’t just say it because it sounds good or because it’s what everyone else says, I will attempt to break it down further. Amen refers to the faithfulness of God. It means to be in agreements with His faithfulness. Thus why we say amen.
Knowing that He is the God of truth and it endures forever Psalm 117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord. We also know that He is the same God Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. So understanding that Jehovah is faithful and in His faithfulness His truth is assured. We say can say amen to his Word, His will and His way. Which essentially means we are in agreements with His faithfulness, that it is so. The word of God is the only thing that’s consistent, the only thing that will never change. So when His word is given or His promise issued we can rest assured that it is so and that it will be.
Grab and go: 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. So when we read that again we see that ALL the promises of God are “yes it will come to pass” and His faithfulness will make it so. No matter what God promised you it will come to pass. It has no other choice because He is faithful, Amen.
