Promises That Are True Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:13 Recommended Reading Psalm 119:160 Consider how you feel when youre in a relationship with a person -- spouse, friend, coworker, boss -- who has never been untrue in word or deed. The longer that person goes without betraying your trust, the higher your confidence soars. But should something untrue be said or done, your confidence crashes. It can take a long time to restore trust. We serve a God who has never been untrue in word or deed. In fact, Jesus called Himself the truth, personifying the quality that is an attribute of God (John 14:6). While man is constantly redefining truth -- Pontius Pilate famously asked, What is truth? (John 18:38) -- Jesus and the psalmist declared that Gods Word is truth (Psalm 119:160; John 17:17). And Gods promises are part of His Word (2 Peter 1:2-4). Jesus said that the Christians place in eternity, in Gods family, is eternal -- that is a promise that will be eternally true (John 10:28). Nothing can separate the Christian from the love of God in Christ (Romans 8:38-39). Whatever your need today -- provision, protection, perseverance -- cling to the promises from the One who has never been untrue. The whole covenant is a bundle of promises. Thomas Brooks Read-Thru-the-Bible Ezekiel 44-46
