Yeah, yeah, tell me something I don’t know. Well, I don’t know why this thought struck me so. I was thinking about how Jesus, in John 8:44, says that Satan is a murderer and liar. Satan is the father of lies.
Another verse came to mind: Romans 3:4 which says “… let God be true but every man a liar. …” and Titus 1:2 which says… “God, who cannot lie”. So of course we know that God tells the truth. He was a truth teller from our beginning. He has no beginning or end and has always been and will always be a truth-teller… and the Father of truth-tellers.
Remember when Pilate asked Jesus “What is truth?”. Jesus had answered that in two ways earlier. He prayed to His Father in John 17 to set apart His disciples by truth… then He clarified it by saying to the Father “Your word is truth”. Also in John 14:6 Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, the life…”. So the Word of God is truth and Jesus is truth. “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God“.
Let God be true but every man, including myself, a liar, if ever His truth is questioned…. for He and His word are it.
“…Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?” Job 40:8
