IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE.

 

It was impossible for God to lie.
 
Hebrews 6:18
 
 

 
Jehovah is the “God of truth.”
 
Lying lips are an abomination under the Lord.
 
What he hates in others can never be found in himself.
 
He cannot deceive,
   therefore his word may be relied on.
He cannot go from his word,
   therefore it may be confidently trusted.
He has threatened sinners, and
  his words must be fulfilled,
    "for it is impossible for God to lie.”
 
“The wicked shall be turned into hell,
   with all the nations that forget God.”
 
Of the man that love sin,
  that lives in sin, it is said,
   “The Lord will not spare him,
     but the anger of the Lord and
     his jealousy shall smoke against that man.”
 
This is awful!
 
It is tremendous.
 
It must be realized, for it is
  “impossible for God to lie.”
 
He has given many, exceeding great and
   precious promises to his people; and
   they must all be made good.
 
He will perform them,
  and not one jot or tittle from them shall fail.
 
He will give grace and glory, and
  no good thing will he withhold from
   them that walk uprightly;
   for he has promised it, and
    it is impossible for God to lie.
 
This truth is like the pillar of fire and
   cloud of old, it gives light to God's Israel,
    but it is darkness to the Egyptians.
 
What Christ hath said, must be fulfilled,
  On this firm rock believers build;
His word must stand, his truth prevail,
And not one jot, or one tittle fail.
 
James Smith 1849
