Good Morning Friends,
“Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness – a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior, To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.” (Titus 1:1-4)
One eternal attribute of God that you can count on: He does not lie. It would be a contradiction of His character to lie and God cannot and will not contradict His own character.
And God, who does not lie, has promised these things:
He has promised that there is eternal life. That’s not a new promise, it is one that is as old as time. There is a heaven, God has promised it. People will go to heaven, God has promised it.
The people who will go to heaven are those who have come to Him through Jesus Christ. Jesus declared, and the Father affirmed, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.’ (John 14:6) It is through the person and message of Jesus that eternal life is available. God has spoken it and His Word can be counted on as true.
It is faith in Jesus Christ and the knowledge of the truth that leads to life. First, the message of the truth about Jesus must be heard, that’s where knowledge comes in. Then, the message must be responded it, that’s faith.
Eternal life, through Jesus Christ, by faith. That’s what God has said. And God doesn’t lie. You can count on it!
His, by Grace,
Steve
