GOD IS NOT A MAN, NEVER A LIAR!
“God is not a man, that he should lie; Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”
Numbers 23:19
Main Text: 2 Peters 3:1-9
Children trust their parents to feed and shelter them. People trust their cars to take them places. Employers trust their employees to work. And we Christians trust God to “never leave nor forsake” us as we go about living lives according to His will. Any healthy and long-lasting relationship finds its foundation in the idea of trust. That word is defined as the “reliance on the integrity” of a person or thing.
God is unchangeable and unchanging. He is not like those who can alter their opinions, break their promises, modify their plans and speak lies with the twisted tongue of the serpent. The Lord our God is immutable. God is perfect in all His thoughts and trustworthy in all His ways. Unlike men, who often distort facts, twist the truth and are easily tossed about like waves on the sea, God’s counsel is steadfast. His promises are sure, His Word is dependable, and His Truth lasts from one generation to another. In Paul’s letter to Titus, we are informed “God, cannot lie,” while in Romans, we read “the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” Hebrews states: “it is impossible for God to lie,” while the Lord Jesus, Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life stated in Luke, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”
The Lord of truth will never go back on His Word; for He is the God Who does not change and Whose WORD is worthy of all acceptance. God is merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness. God is NOT a man!
Confession:
I ive victoriously. I was created in the image of God. I have the DNA of a winner. I wear a crown of favor. I will live with purpose, passion, and praise, knowing that I was destined to live in victory. His unfailing Word works wonders in my world. Amen!
