(Heb 6:16) “For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath:” “…willing more abundantly to shew”: the promise of eternal salvation is so important not only to man, but to God. So, His desire is revealed in the greatest of ways: an oath of truthfulness to the highest of degrees – through and by Himself.
