- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. When we look at the attributes of God, and specifically the attribute of truthfulness, we saw two different ways that it is expressed, veracity and faithfulness.
- 00:26
- We're going to look at both of them now. Veracity is the fact that God does not waver on the truth.
- 00:31
- It is God's invariable expression of truth. It is the act of being truthful.
- 00:41
- He does not waver on the truth and he is the source and the standard of all that is true.
- 00:48
- James 1 .17 would say, there is no variation or shadow of change. The fact that he cannot change, he is immutable, means that when he is truthful, he can do nothing but truth.
- 00:57
- And this leads into faithfulness. It could be defined as God fulfills all his promises.
- 01:03
- Faithfulness is a steadiness in affection or allegiance. It is expressed in the fact that God fulfills his promises.
- 01:11
- Positively, God never has to revise or renege a promise. Negatively, God will be faithful in his wrath on the wicked.
- 01:20
- Due to God's omnipotence, he is capable and able to fulfill all of his promises.
- 01:26
- Now that's good and bad. It's good because it means when he promises us eternal life and a place with him in heaven, those who believe will have that.
- 01:36
- But it also means negatively that when he promises that he will punish all sin, he will be faithful to that as well.
- 01:45
- So faithfulness is the fact that God will complete his promises, all of them that he makes.
