Catechism Part 1, Section 2, Chapter 3, Article 12 Conclusion - Amen (1061-1065)

The Creed ends with the word "amen." This comes from the root of the word for "believe."This root expresses solidarity,trustworthiness,and faithfulness. It expresses both Gods faithfulness to us and our trust in him. In Isaiah the God of truth is literarily translated into the God of Amen. This shows that God is faithful to his promises. Jesus used the word Amen to emphasize the trustworthiness of his teaching and his authority founded on God's word. It is a confirmation of the statement "I believe." To say "amen" to God's words, promises and commandments. Also it  is to trust oneself to God  who is the "Amen " of indefinite love and perfect faithfulness.(and to live out the Christian life in accordance to what you say you believe. ) ) delete The Christian life is an Amen to the I believe of baptismal profession of faith: Jesus Christ is the "Amen" of the Father's love for us. Jesus takes up and completes our Amen to the Father.   Also delete (and) through Christ (him )we say our "Amen."
