Did You Know? It Is Impossible For God To Lie โ€“ By Iwalola (Lola) Ademodi

๐ŸŒบBeloved, the Bible states it is impossible for God to lie because it is part of His unchanging, truthful nature.

๐“๐ซ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐†๐จ๐โ€™๐ฌ ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ:

๐ŸŒบThe Bible presents God’s truthfulness as an essential part of His being.

๐Ÿ“’Hebrews 6:17-18 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œIn the same way God, in His desire to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable nature of His purpose, intervened and guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God to lie,

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพwe who have fled [to Him] for refuge would have strong encouragement and indwelling strength to hold tightly to the hope set before us.โ€

๐ŸŒบThis verses describe God’s inability to lie as a foundation for believers’ hope and encouragement.

๐Ÿ“’Also, 2 Timothy 2:13 AMP declares thatโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œIf we are faithless, He remains faithful [true to His word and His righteous character], for He cannot deny Himself.โ€

๐Ÿ“’Titus 1:2 AMP describes God as ever truthful and without deceitโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œbased on the hope and divine guarantee of eternal life, [the life] which God, who is ever truthful and without deceit, promised before the ages of time began,โ€

๐ŸŒบBecause God is He “who cannot lie,” links His truthfulness to the promise of eternal life. Another hopeful assurance for believers in Christ.

๐ŸŒบGod’s immutability is contrasted with human fallibility.

๐ŸŒบThis highlights that Godโ€™s nature is fundamentally different from humanity, who are prone to lying and changing its mind.

๐ŸŒบGod is not a man and does not change His mind. He is unchangeable.

๐Ÿ“’Numbers 23:19 AMP declaresโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œGod is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพHas He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken and will He not make it good and fulfill it?โ€

๐†๐จ๐โ€™๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ž๐ฌ ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐›๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ:

๐ŸŒบThe unchangeable nature of God’s promises is meant to give us believers strong foundation for our faith.

๐Ÿ“’Hebrews 6:18-19:

โญ•๏ธExplains that because of God’s unchangeable promises and oath, believers can have strong encouragement and hold fast to their hope, which is described as a sure and steadfast anchor for the soul.
