God swore by Himself!

God swore by Himself!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Hebrews 6:13‭-‬14
For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”

God is a giver. Since the beginning of times, all He wants to do is bless His children beyond measure. To show Abraham the seriousness of His counsel to bless him, He swore by Himself.

Think about this, since there was no one greater to swear by, God swore by himself. Why would He do such a thing? This is God's love! How much He desires to bless you! How much He loves you! He added His oath to His word to let Abraham and his seed know that God wants to bless them beyond measure. With this, there is no question, no doubt remaining about God's willingness to bless us. It's sad, so many people see God as one who takes away and steals the blessings. No one has been more misunderstood than God.

For you, God didn't even spare His one and only begotten son, Jesus. God's desire to bless us and His love for us moved Him to send Jesus to die for us so that every one who believes in Jesus would become the seed of Abraham and therefore a recipient of all the blessings of God. In Christ, you are the seed of Abraham and you are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. God always wants to give you more than what you ask, think or imagine. God is good. God is love. God is light. God is for you and God loves you. Jesus is Lord!

"God loves me and greatly desires to see me blessed in every area of my life. I receive the blessings of God and I walk in it. Jesus is my Lord and I am the seed of Abraham. My Father loves me as much as He loves Jesus."
