God, Who Cannot Lie, Promised
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
“In hope of eternal life, which GOD, WHO CANNOT LIE, PROMISED…” (Titus 1:2).
In the Mediterranean Sea there lies an island which in Paul’s day had a very bad reputation. It’s name is Crete. To Titus, a pastor sent to evangelize the inhabitants, the Apostle Paul wrote: “One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said. The Cretians are always liars…” (Titus 1:12), and he added: “This witness is true” (Ver. 13). Paul knew this to be a fact, for he had labored among them. Indeed, even secular history bears witness to this trait of the Cretians, for we are told that in ancient times to call a man a Cretian was to call him a liar.
How wonderful that St. Paul had succeeded in establishing a few small Christian assemblies on this island and that Titus was now laboring there as his successor! And how reassuring that to Titus and these few believers, surrounded on every hand by people who could not be trusted, Paul could write about “eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised”!
“God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken and shall He not make it good?” (Numbers 23:19).
Thank God, millions have trusted His Word, especially about salvation through the all-sufficient and finished work of redemption wrought by Christ at Calvary, and they have found it to be blessedly true.
In dozens of passages of Scripture God has promised eternal life to those who trust in Christ and His payment for sin. “Christ died for our sins” (I Corinthians 15:3). “[He] was delivered for our offences and was raised again for our justification” (Romans 4:25). “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life” (John 3:36). “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31). Take Him at His Word; His promise is good. “GOD, WHO CANNOT LIE, PROMISED.”

GRAMMATICAL DELUSION? BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteIs grammatical delusion alive and well among those who claim Jesus as Lord and Savior? You make the call.
Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved...(NKJV)
Is it a grammatical delusion to state that "and" is not a conjunction linking who believes and is baptized will be saved?
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one one you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.....(NKJV)
Its is a grammatical delusion to profess that "and" is not a conjunction linking repent, and let every one of you be baptized ....for the remission of sins.
Is it a grammatical delusion to suggest that "for" in Acts 2:38 actually means "because of".
GRAMMATICAL DELUSION IS ALIVE AND WELL IN MANY DENOMINATIONS TODAY.
Do you trust God's written word or man-made grammatical delusion?
Belief, repentance, and immersion in water are all essential in order to be saved. Do not fall into the trap of grammatical delusion.
