Romans 3:4, Comfort of a Truthful God

Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

In a world of untruth and lies, deception and confusion, having a personal relationship with the living and true God is life’s greatest stabiliser. Let not God’s infinitely truthful character be maligned. When we go to Him, we can get an honest comment, an honest assessment of ourselves, an honest assessment of life for what it truly is. What comfort! This is the power of the Word of God. It ministers stability and with it wisdom and hope for life. God’s Word is the final arbiter, the impartial judge. Living by its instruction, we stand uncondemned and justified before God and men. Sins can be repented of and forgiven. Hurts can be healed.

Here is wisdom from the Holy Writ by the pen of Solomon:

Proverbs 3:1-8 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.  

Let us draw near to our great God who ministers comfort and strength to our lives because He is forever true –  Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Amen.
