God never lies

A simple and short post is what you are about to get today. This is nothing special but I hope you can be encouraged by it.

I would think that we would all know this, but God never lies.

"...in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not like, promised before the beginning of time...." (Titus 1:2)

The book of Titus was written by Paul, to Titus who has on the island of Crete. Paul had originally sent Titus to Crete in order to organize and oversee the churches that were there. This is a letter that is telling Titus how to do his job. The island of Crete wasn't a very glamorous place, it was full of liars and laziness.

Since lying was a commonplace in Crete, Paul made it clear at the start of the chapter that God does not lie. The foundation of our faith is trust in God's character. Because God is truth, he is the source of all truth, and he cannot lie. Believing in him leads to godliness, living a God-honoring lifestyle. The eternal life that God has promised will be ours, because he keeps his promises. Build your faith on the foundation of a trustworthy God who never lies.

God never lies. God never lies. God never lies. Let that be your encouragement today and as you start out your week.
