We say amen after our prayers and sometimes when we agree with what has just been said, but there's more to it then that. Read 2 Corinthians 1:20-22 from the Message:
"Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the "Yes" of Jesus. In Him, this is what we preach and pray, the great "Amen", God's yes and our yes together, gloriously evident.
God affirms us making us a sure thing in Christ, putting His yes within us. By His Spirit He has stamped us with His eternal pledge--a sure beginning of what He is destined to complete."
By saying amen, we are agreeing with God through our Savior, Jesus Christ that His work in us is being completed day by day. Amen to that!
