What is the meaning of the word “Amen?”

Heidelberg Catechism

Question 129.
What is the meaning of the word “Amen?”

Answer. “Amen” means: so shall it truly and surely be. For my prayer is much more certainly heard of God than I feel in my heart that I desire these things of Him.[1]

[1] Ps 145:18-19; Isa 65:24; 2 Cor 1:20; 2 Tim 2:13
