A God Who Cannot Lie (continued)


Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “A God who cannot Lie” – the whole purpose of this letter is for each reader to bear in mind the thought that “God cannot and will not lie.” Paul told Titus (one of his understudies in the Gospel) that he “[acknowledged] the truth which is after godliness...God…cannot lie…” (Titus 1:1-2). Beloved, what I like about God is that one of these days He will prove Himself to everyone – that His words are all true. Isaiah explains it this way; “the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it” (Isaiah 40:5). It does not matter whether people believe the word of God today or not; it does not matter whether they can stand it or not – all flesh must see the glory of the Lord.

Chosen Ones, wicked men will see it while righteous men have the reward of seeing it now. Why? “For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” The Lord created the just as well as the unjust. This also includes men who have committed suicide; they also must see “the glory of the Lord.” God will not lie! He will also not be denied in revealing His glory to any man! This is the truth as explained again by Paul to the church at Corinth: “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (II Corinthians 5:10).

Precious Ones, this means that we should not look to judge others. “[Why] dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ” (Romans 14:10). Christ is judging us all now to see how much we believe in Him and how much we trust Him. Think about this – how many of us can honestly say that God has proven to be faithful time and time again? If the answer is yes a trillion times over, then why should God not be angry at the human family for not trusting Him?


I will write more on this subject next week.

I adore each of you.
In His Love,

Pastor William L. McCoy
