Not of “law,” nor of “works,” that any man can boast; to the end that the promise might be “sure” (stable/valid/guaranteed) to all the seed; which is of the “faith of Abraham.”
[ Eph 2:8; Rom 4:16]
The Lord,(our Abba), is the only original Promise-keeper.
So much so that, “because He could swear by none greater ...to prove the immutability (unchangeableness) of His counsel, He sware by Himself; and confirmed it by an oath.” Therefore “let us hold fast the profession of our faith without waivering; for He is faithful that promised.” [Heb 6:13, 15-17; Heb 10:23]
And, we know that “nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of Abba, which is in Christ Jesus” ...for we have been joined to Him (made inseparable) by His promise (covenant). [Rom 8:38-39]
One cannot stress enough the certainty (surety, dependability) of God's “word” (of promise): “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but not God's word.” [Matt 24:35]
ThenSingsMySoul:
NOTHING BETWEEN MY SOUL AND MY SAVIOUR,
SO THAT HIS BLESSED FACE MAY BE SEEN;
NOTHING PREVENTING THE LEAST OF HIS FAVOR;
KEEP THE WAY CLEAR! LET NOTHING BETWEEN.
