WHAT GOD SAYS

 

WHAT GOD SAYS

Prov. 30:5-6 Every word of God proves true. He defends all who come to him for protection. Do not add to his words, or he may rebuke you, and you will be found a liar.  NLT

      EVERY word of God proves true. There is not word of untruth in God’s Word. Just because we may not be able to explain everything away or fit it into the way we think doesn’t change the fact that what God has spoken is absolutely true in all things. To believe otherwise is to deny the absolute authority of the Word and its ability to speak to us on anything. The very basis of our belief in God hinges on first our belief in the whole truth of God’s Word.

       Every word of God is true. Therefore, we can believe and trust in God absolutely. He will do what He says He will do.

       However, a word of caution is in order. God will not do what He has not promised to do. Don’t put words into His mouth. Be sure that what you claim to be true is indeed what He has said and not what you think He has said or what you want Him to say. Many foolish things have been said and claimed about God and His activity in our lives that simply cannot be backed up by His Word. Many times, people will make God say what they want Him to say.

      God is truth and keeps His word absolutely. He cannot be manipulated to accommodate our whims. He protects those who stay true to Him and His Word and rebukes those who don’t.

       Before you claim to speak for God, bathe what you say in prayer and be sure it is backed up by God’s Word.  God holds us accountable for what we proclaim in His name, especially if it is misleading, causes someone to stray from the truth of the Gospel, and fail to embrace Christ as our wisdom, righteousness, and holiness from God.
