Psa 119:142-Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. Twin themes of righteousness and truth. God and His Word exemplify both perfectly. Gods righteousness and truth never change. Hear Albert Barnes-...It never changes. The principles of thy law, of thy government, and of thy method of saving people, are the same under all dispensations, in every land, in all worlds; and they will remain the same forever. Human governments change. Old dynasties pass away. New laws are enacted under new administrations. Customs change. Opinions change. People change. The world changes. But as God himself never changes, so it is with his law. That law is founded on eternal truth, and can never change... We see this taught vividly in Heb 13:8-Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. What a great and encouraging thought. The world is so abruptly changing right before our eyes, but God doesnt change. The psalmist adds that thy law is the truth. This fact is oft repeated in the Scriptures. Hear Spurgeon-...As God is love, so his law is the truth, the very essence of truth, truth applied to ethics, truth in action, truth upon the judgment-seat. We hear great disputes about, “What is truth?” The holy Scriptures are the only answer to that question. Note, that they are not only true, but the truth itself. We may not say of them that they contain the truth, but that they are the truth: “thy law is the truth.” There is nothing false about the law or preceptory part of Scripture. Those who are obedient thereto shall find that they are walking in a way consistent with fact, while those who act contrary thereto are walking in a vain show... Pilate asked Jesus-What is truth? Jesus embodied it in both doctrine and character. He thus states in John 14:6-...I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus is not just the truth, and His Word truth, but they are eternal and change not. Praise God! Like the song says-Thank God, some things never change... Do you know the eternal truth of Jesus? Are you grounded in His everlasting righteousness? You can be today! Hallelujah for truth and righteousness!
