How Paul Describes The Lord.
In verse 2 and 3 he tells us two particular things about the Lord.
- He cannot lie.
This is only one of the things of God cannot do – look up and compare John 10:35;2 Tim.2:13;James1:13;. Our God is the never lying God – look up 1 Sam.15:29;Heb.6:18. He is altogether free from falsehood. This means that every promise He has ever made – in relation to His children,the church,the Jews, the world and in relation to eternity – He will fulfill.
2. He is our Savior.
Here we need to compare 1 Tim.1:1. The most precious name we give to our Lord is the name Savior,which means ” Deliverer “. Is He our Savior? From what does He save you? Christ is able and willing to save us from the guilt,pollution and power from sin,from worry and anxiety and fear,and at His coming again He will save us from the very presence of sin – look up and compare 2 Kings 13:5;Psm.106:21,Isa.43:3,45:21,Jn.4:42;Acts5:31;Philp.3:20;Jude 25.
Are you rejoicing in the God who cannot lie and in the Lord Jesus Christ as your own personal and all-sufficient Savior?
