- 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. Looking at the attributes of God, specifically those that we categorize as morality, we notice that we have now three categories within there, holiness, truth, and love, and each of those have different expressions.
- 00:28
- Today we're going to focus on truth, and truth is positively explained as conforming to fact or reality, exact accordance with that which is or has been or shall be.
- 00:42
- Now, negatively, truth is the absence of falsehood or error.
- 00:49
- Truth is explained as God's intelligence, declaration, and representation eternally conforming to reality.
- 00:56
- In other words, what we say is true is that which conforms to reality, well the reality of that is reality conforms to the nature of God.
- 01:04
- So truth gets its definition from God himself. When we look at reality, we see truth.
- 01:13
- Now God cannot misrepresent or deceive others or himself about himself because he is truthful.
- 01:21
- It is due to his truthfulness and his immutability, meaning that he cannot change, that he cannot do anything inconsistent with his nature.
- 01:32
- This is why we see in Titus 1 .2, God cannot lie. It is impossible for God to do something that would be a lie, that would be untruthful.
- 01:43
- God is truthful in his veracity and proven truthful in his faithfulness. What God states as fact and reality must be true because he is omniscient.
