• Man is weak and vacillating, and yet more in deed than in word; but He who binds fast unto Christ is God, and this, not the strong only, but the weakest, as needing most such securing grace and power. (“Notes on 2 Corinthians 1:21-24” by W. Kelly)
• God has established-deposited, so to speak- the fulfillment of all His promises in the Person of Christ. Life, glory, righteousness, pardon, the gift of the Spirit, all is in Him; it is in Him that all is true-Yea and Amen. We cannot have the effect of any promise whatsoever out of Him.

a
The emphasis is all the greater, because God is expressed, not objectively, but as a predicate. Compare chapter 5:5, where a precisely similar construction occurs. The effect of the absence of the article is to characterize Him who works as is described in each instance.
