Deuteronomy 32:4
“The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.”
Our God is a God of truth. He is the Rock, the immovable Foundation of this way of life. The Hebrew word for “Rock” indicates firmness, stability, and faithfulness. What would it be like to worship a God whose “truth” changed from time to time? Could such a God be trusted? The Greek word for “True” in Revelation 19:11 (And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it {is} called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war.) means much the same thing, but it carries the additional sense of “real” or “genuine.” There is nothing—absolutely nothing—false, deceitful, evasive, or variable in His character, His Word, or His example.
Without true values, civilization will not continue long but descend into revolution and anarchy. God’s Word, His doctrine, is true and faithful just as He is. It is a reflection of His nature and character. Any society or family built on it will prosper and become great in godly terms. Jesus’ first coming left mankind without excuse regarding the eternal question, “What is truth?”
Jesus says in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Many can say, “I have told you the truth,” but Jesus not only told it, He embodied it. He put truth into a visible, concrete form so all who want to see it can.
Jesus lived what He taught with total purity and never a shadow of turning. He was absolutely stable, firm, and reliable, the real, genuine representative of eternal life, the way of life that He will establish on earth at His return.
