God's yes is settled.

Main message: God's "yes" is settled and faithful — he does not lie or change his mind, and he has already affirmed forgiveness, restoration, and the fulfillment of his promises for those who come to him in Jesus' name and in accord with his will.

Key points:

• God's yes is not casual or insincere; it is authoritative and unchanging.
• "God is not a man that he should lie nor the son of man that he should repent" — God is faithful.
• Before we fail, God has already said yes to forgiving and restoring us.
• Anything brought to God in Jesus' name and in agreement with his will will receive his yes.
• Scripture teaches that the many promises of God are already answered with yes in Christ.
