Because God made the promises in Scripture they will be fulfilled. He cannot lie nor deceive in anyway. And because Jesus is God in the flesh He not only fulfills what God had promised, He shows that God is faithful to His promises, thus He is the "Yes" in these two ways. Jesus is the Truth. He cannot lie or deceive because He is God in the flesh. Therefore, we can trust what God has revealed in Scripture because Jesus IS the Word of God and was with God in the beginning and IS God. ( John 1:1-3)
The only Being in the universe Who is completely true to His Word is God. The Father is true to His revealed word, the Son is true to His divine nature, never sinning and able to fulfill all that He came to do for us to the glory of God, and the Holy Spirit is true because, as God, He knows all concerning the nature of God and whatever He reveals to man, it is always true and reliable.
So, we can be confident that we serve a God who is altogether, faithful, truthful, unwavering (not yes and no about the same promise), unchanging in what He has decreed, and all powerful to ensure that all that He has determined to do will come to pass.
Jesus is God's Yes and Amen to us. He carries to completion all that God wills. He is God's guarantee of salvation, sanctification, and glorification to all who has been elected before creation. No one who is elected to salvation will not come to God in Christ.
God's election never fails. The Father draws the elect to Christ. The Son came as God in the flesh to fulfill the plan of redemption, and the Holy Spirit seals us for eternity. None that are elected will ever be cast out from God.
This truth of Jesus being the Yes and Amen of God demonstrates the unity of the three Persons of the Godhead in all things. There is absolute harmony between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They always will the same things and always bring to fruition all that is willed. No plan or purpose of God will ever fail or go unfulfilled.
