Commentary on Hebrews 6:13
God's promise to Abraham was confirmed by oath. Since 'He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself.' This emphasizes divine self-sufficiency and the absolute reliability of God's promises. Reformed theology grounds assurance in God's oath-bound covenant promises. God's character guarantees His word - He cannot lie or change. This divine oath-taking condescends to human weakness, providing maximum assurance.
