Hebrews 6:13 - The Message
When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line. He said, "I promise that Ill bless you with everything I have—bless and bless and bless!" Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been promised to him. When people make promises, they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if there is any question that theyll make good on the promise, the authority will back them up. When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee—God cant break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable.
