The Veracity Of God
Psalm 117:1-2
How I wish I could
persuade all who read this brief article (and fully persuade my own heart!) of
the truth of the LORD.God is true in all things and deserves to be believed. He
is worthy of implicit faith and confidence.
GOD HAS DEMONSTRATED
THE VERACITY OF HIS WORD IN MANY UNDENIABLE WAYS. "Thy Word is true from
the beginning". No one can, with honesty, read the Bible and deny its
truth.Every revealed purpose of God has come to pass exactly as it was
revealed. Every promise God ever made,of either wrath or mercy,he has
fulfilled. There is not a prophecy in the Old Testament Scriptures, except
those which relate to the second coming of Christ, which has not been
accomplished with such precise accuracy that the prophecies themselves read
like history books recording past events. God is true to his Word.
And GOD IS TRUE TO HIS
PEOPLE. "It is of the Lord's mercy that we are not consumed, because his
compassions fail not.They are new every morning. Great is thy faith-
fulness". Believer, have you not, in your own life's experience, proved
the truth of the Lord? His love is unfailing! His faithfulness is unabated! His
goodness is unchangable! God is true! He promised to do us good, nothing but
good, all the days of our lives. And his providence has fulfilled his promise.
He promised to forgive the sins of all who trust his Son. And he has so fully
forgiven us that he will not impute sin to us. He promised to keep and preserve
us in life and grace in Christ. And we are kept by the power of God.
THE GOSPEL OF GOD'S
FREE AND SOVEREIGN GRACE IN CHRIST IS TRUE. It is written, by the inspiration
of God himself,"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins, and to cleanse us from all un- righteousness". Yes, "the
blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin". The covenant of
grace, ordered in all things and sure, is true (Jer.31:31-34). The
accoomplishment of redemption by Christ is true (Heb.
