The author of Hebrews uses the story of the covenant God made with Abraham to illustrate the fact that God, when He made a promise to us, likewise did so by making the promise sure by Him making the promise to Himself rather than between us. He swore by two unchangeable things: He swore by Himself (His unchangeable character and purpose), and He swore with an oath (His promise to fulfill His promise). God’s fulfilling of His promise is in Christ, not in you or me. God the Father “sealed the deal” with God the Son, and not only that, but God the Holy Spirit is the seal of this guaranteed, promised inheritance. In the meantime, while we await this heavenly hope of our future inheritance, we wait and endure patiently. We must put our hope in the fact that the promises of God are anchored down in Christ, not in us.
