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: God 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
