LET US NOT REASON OUT WHAT THE LORD HAS SAID CONCERNING US, LET US JUST BELIEVE THE TRUTH OF GODS WORD. FOR GOD CANT LIE. IF HE SAYS ANYTHING IT MUST BECOME WHAT HE SAYS. TITUS:1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; HEB:6:16-18:Men indeed swear by a greater [than themselves], and with them in all disputes the oath taken for confirmation is final [ending strife]. Accordingly God also, in His desire to show more convincingly {and} beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose {and} plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath. This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false {or} deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength {and} strong encouragement to grasp {and} hold fast the hope appointed for us {and} set before [us]. WHATEVER GOD SAYS WILL STAND FOR ETERNITY. ISAIAH:55:10-11:For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please {and} purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. Psalm:119:89 Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven [stands firm as the heavens]. Isaiah:40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. GOD IS NOT A MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE. NUM:23:19 God is not a man, that He should tell {or} act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance {or} compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good? ALL WHAT IS REQUIRED FROM US IS TO BELIEVE OF WHOM WE ARE CHRIST. JOHN:6:47 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, he who believes {in Me} [who adheres to, trusts in, relies on, and has faith in Me] has (now possesses) eternal life.11:40 Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you {and} promise you that if you would believe {and} rely on Me, you would see the glory of God? OUR TRUE REAL LIVES ARE IN CHRIST AS A NEW CREATURE. 2Cor:5:17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh {and} new has come! 1John:5:10-13: He who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] has the testimony [possesses this divine attestation] within himself. He who does not believe God [in this way] has made Him out to be {and} represented Him as a liar, because he has not believed (put his faith in, adhered to, and relied on) the evidence (the testimony) that God has borne regarding His Son. And this is that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who possesses the Son has that life; he who does not possess the Son of God does not have that life. I write this to you who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) the name of the Son of God [in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on men], so that you may know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have life, yes, eternal life. IF GOD SAYS SO, LET IT BE SO; LET GOD BE TRUE AND ALL MEN BE A LIAR. ROM:3:4 By no means! Let God be found true though every human being is false {and} a liar, as it is written, That You may be justified {and} shown to be upright in what You say, and prevail when You are judged [by sinful men]. AS A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST, WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT. 2Cor:5:7 For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting mans relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight {or} appearance. Heb:10:38 But the just shall live by faith [My righteous servant shall live by his conviction respecting mans relationship to God and divine things, and holy fervor born of faith and conjoined with it]; and if he draws back {and} shrinks in fear, My soul has no delight {or} pleasure in him. LEARNING ABOUT WHOM WE ARE IN CHRIST, AND OUR INHERITANCE IN CHRIST, STAND FOREVER BECAUSE CHRIST HAS PAID FOR IT ALL. GAL:3:13-14: Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified);To the end that through [their receiving] Christ Jesus, the blessing [promised] to Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that we through faith might [all] receive [the realization of] the promise of the [Holy] Spirit. AS A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, WE ARE SET FREE BY THE TRUTH AND NOT BY FACTS. THE FACT IS TEMPORAL, WHILE THE TRUTH IS ETERNAL. 2Cor:4:18 Since we consider {and} look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless {and} everlasting. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST NEVER SAY THAT THE FACTS WILL SET US FREE, BUT ONLY THE TRUTH. John:8:31-32: So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you abide in My word [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples. And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free. KNOWING THE TRUTH AND NOT BELIEVING WHAT TRUTH SAYS IS MORE OR LESS NOT KNOWING THE TRUTH. THE TRUTH WORD OF GOD SAYS MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Hosea:4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge... WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THERE IS NO WAY TO BE ABLE TO HOLD UNTO THE TRUTH WORD OF GOD. THERE ARE MANY FORCES OUT THERE TRYING TO CONTEND WITH THE TRUTH WORD OF GOD. THAT IS WHY A CHRISTIAN LIFE WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS JUST A MERE DEAD RELIGION. ROM:15:13 May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound {and} be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.
