For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you

by us—by me and Silas[a] and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,”

but in him it has always been “Yes.” 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 1:19-20).

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand

slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to

perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9).
