livingwaters Further to the question in the previous post. The one word upon which all scripture and our hope rests, is in this verse: ...in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began... Did you spot it? Its the word cannot. God CANNOT lie. It shines in this dark world like the noonday sun on the clear day. Scripture doesnt say that He MAY NOT or WILL NOT lie. He cannot. Hebrews 6:18 says that it is impossible for Him to lie. It is so against His morally perfect character that the Bible draws on the strength of the word impossible. The sun would sooner turn to ice in a moment than for God to turn to the slightest deceit. That means that in a world where you are continually lied to by politicians, by the news media, by salesmen, lawyers, and even family and professed friends--where its normal for people not to keep their word, God keeps His. And He keeps it down to every jot and tittle. That means you can trust in Him, rely on Him, cling to Him, and lean on Him for dear life...and He will never, ever, ever, let you down, disappoint you, dishearten you, discourage you, hurt or reject you. Look at this: If we are faithless,He remains faithful;He cannot deny Himself (2 Timothy 2:13. Do you believe that? If you dont, then you insult Him, and call Him a liar to His face (see 1 John 5:9-13). Believe it with all of your heart, trust Him with every ounce of our being and your joy and peace will be full in this life, even in the face of death.
