God Does Not Lie - By Robert A. Searles
Calling God a liar is a grievous and dangerous sin. God has manifested
his word in the person of his son the Lord Jesus Christ, and he has
made known his word through the printed page and through the
foolishness of preaching. He has given us the prophets and the
apostles. More importantly, he has given us the witness of the Holy
Spirit.
When we worry we are doubting the word of God, which if
we examine it carefully, we find gives us full assurance of God's love
and care and protection for us. Doubting the word of God is akin to
calling God a liar. This is a grievous sin and keeps us from enjoying
the peace and comfort and the entering in to God's rest that he has
prepared for all who will believe.
Before we can enjoy the peace
and rest of God, we must take the testimony of the prophets and the
apostles, and the witness of the holy Spirit, and the teaching and
example of our Lord and Savior, and allow the word of God to dwell in
our hearts and be mixed with faith that God gives us to believe, and we
need to encourage ourselves and others in the promise that God said it, I
believe it, and that settles it forever.
“Let us therefore
fear, lest a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you
should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached
as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not
being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have
believed do enter into rest, as he said, as I have sworn in my wrath, if
they shall enter into my rest although the works were finished from the
foundation of the world.,” Hebrews 4: 1-3.
"Take heed brethren,
lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing
from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called
today; lest any of you be burdened through the deceitfulness of sin.
For we are made partakers of Christ. If we hold the beginning of our
confidence steadfast unto the end. While it is said today if ye will
hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.” Hebrews
3: 12-15
