Yes in Christ!

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. - 2 Corinthians 1:20

All of God's promises in Christ are yes! Since Calvary, God stands before us 100% in the affirmative. He died to say yes! You may be asking yourself, does that mean that God never says no? He certainly does, but His no is given only so that He can say yes to something better. God's no is a street sign to direct you to an oncoming yes. He says no to premarital sex so that He can say yes to the blessed intimacy of marriage. He says no to addiction so that He can say yes to freedom. If He has been forced to say no to you lately, rejoice! He is directing you to a point at which He can extend to you a resounding yes! Keep driving in His direction. A better yes is just around the corner.

Do more people know what Christians do not believe than what we believe? Does the world view us as a squelched, restricted, mindless group of people who serve a God who says only no? May this be the generation that seizes every opportunity to attest to a God who says yes - yes to salvation, yes to forgiveness, yes to abundant life, and yes to a mansion in glory. Christ is God's yes!
