God Cannot Lie

Another fact we should know about God is that “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change his mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?” More simply put, “God cannot lie.” (Numbers 23:19; Titus 1:2) ::::: God cannot lie. His Word is true, therefore we can believe that what He says is true, and He will perform or finish whatever He has spoken. God created us in His image, of His essence, and breathed His life into us, making us living souls, or speaking spirits. Words are so important to God that He made the whole world with words and upholds it with words. He even sent His Word to earth as a man, who is the Son of God, Jesus. That’s a mighty emphasis on words! And He created us to be just like Him. He wants us to think words and speak words like Him (We are not God, but we are made in His likeness, and of His essence.) In fact, Ephesians 4:15, 25 tells us that the way to “grow up” and be more like Jesus, who is the Word, is to speak the truth in love, to put off falsehood and lying, and speak truthfully to each other.
