Why Can We Believe Everything God Says?
Why Can We Believe Everything God Says?Chapter 1 — God and His Word
Lesson 7: Why Can We Believe Everything God Says?Everything God says is true, because He never lies.
Explanation
We can believe everything God says because He is true in His very being. People forget, make mistakes, or lie, but God does none of these things.
God’s truth does not change with fashion, with the majority, or with our mood. That is why, when He promises forgiveness, help, or the return of Jesus, believers have a firm foundation.
Bible story
In Numbers 23, Balaam says of the Lord that God is not a man, that He should lie. What He promises, He does. All of Bible history shows that God keeps His word even when people are unfaithful.
Remember
- The truth: Everything God says is true, because He never lies.
- God’s truth comes from His perfect character, not from the pressure of people.
- The Lord’s promises deserve our trust, even when the waiting is long.
Numbers 23:19
“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?”
