God Honors His Word

My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.  (Ps 89:34)

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God stands forever.  (Isa 40:8)

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.  (Matt 24:35)

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.  (2 Cor 1:20)

Unlike human beings, God says what He means, and He means what He says.  He is faithful to His Word.  When He says that He will do something, you can rely upon it.  You can rest in the fact that His Word will and MUST come to pass! 

Not only does God have the power to back up His Words, but He has the integrity to guarantee that they will be fulfilled.

One definition of integrity is “the state of being whole and undivided.”  That is a perfect definition of the word integrity, and also of God, our Redeemer.  His intentions and His focus are unimpaired—they’re complete and undivided. 

His promises were not made due to impulsiveness but said with certainty and with purpose.  God had specific motives for devising a plan of salvation and for providing a Savior for mankind.  Here are just some of those motives:

1. Jesus came to fulfill the law.  Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.  (Matt 5:17)
2. Mankind needed a Mediator.  But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.  (Heb 8:6)
3. Jesus’ purpose was to destroy the works of the devil.  For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.  (1 John 3:8)
4. Jesus became our Savior so that we would be perfected.  For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.  (Heb 10:14)
5. Jesus became the true Lamb of God that took away the sins of the world and brought peace and restoration.  And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God!  (John 1:36)  To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.  (Lk 1:79)  See also John 20:19, 21 and Acts 3:20-21. 

Our salvation is assured.  Jesus completed His assignment perfectly, and now we are perfected and complete in Him.  Go ahead and trust His Word.
