The Word \u201cAmen\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cFor all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us\u201d (II Corinthians 1:20).<\/p>\n
The word \u201camen\u201d is a most remarkable word. It was transliterated directly from the Hebrew into the Greek of the New Testament, then into Latin and into English and many other languages, so that it is practically a universal word. It has been called the best-known word in human speech. The word is directly related–in fact, almost identical–to the Hebrew word for \u201cbelieve\u201d (aman), or \u201cfaithful.\u201d Thus, it came to mean \u201csure\u201d or truly,\u201d an expression of absolute trust and confidence. When one believes God, he indicates his faith by an \u201camen.\u201d When God makes a promise, the believer\u2019s response is \u201camen\u201d–\u201dso it will be!\u201d In the New Testament, it is often translated \u201cverily\u201d or \u201ctruly.\u201d When we pray according to His Word and His will, we know God will answer, so we close with an \u201camen,\u201d and so also do we conclude a great hymn or anthem of praise and faith.<\/p>\n
The word is even a title of Christ Himself. The last of His letters to the seven churches begins with a remarkable salutation by the glorified Lord: \u201cThese things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God\u201d (Revelation 3:14). <\/p>\n
We can be preeminently certain that His Word is always faithful and true, because He is none other than the Creator of all things, and thus He is our eternal \u201cAmen.\u201d As our text reminds us, every promise of God in Christ is \u201cyea and amen,\u201d as strong an affirmation of truth as can be expressed in the Greek language.<\/p>\n
It is, therefore, profoundly meaningful that the entire Bible loses with an \u201camen.\u201d \u201cThe grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen\u201d (Revelation 22:21), assuring everyone who reads these words that the whole Book is absolutely true and trustworthy. Amen! – HMM<\/p>\n
