GOD: WHO HE IS, AND WHAT HE IS

Section 5 - He is Constant and Reliable
                  He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
 

He is Constant and Reliable

Scripture declares that God is faithful. He is faithful to His declarations, fully able to fulfil His promises. He is fully dependable as He does not lie nor change His mind over His decisions. Knowing all aspects and implications of any situation – past, present, and future – His decisions are final and always best for all concerned.

1Cor.1:9   Faithful is God
through Whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son

1Cor.10:13  ...faithful is God
Who will not be leaving you to be tried above what you are able...

2Cor.1:18    …God is faithful, for our word toward you is not "Yes" and "No,"

1Thes.5:23,24 …may the God of peace Himself be hallowing you wholly; 
and may your unimpaired spirit and soul and body be kept blameless 
in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ! 
Faithful is He Who is calling you, Who will be doing it also.

2Thes.3:3  … faithful is the Lord
Who will be establishing you and guarding you from the wicked one.

And there is no rock like our Elohim.

and you, sons of Jacob, are not finished.

for He [is] not a man to be penitent.'

Num.23:19a   El is not a man that He should lie
Nor a son of humanity that He should feel regret

which God, Who does not lie, promises before times eonian

Num.23:19b   …Does He say it and then not do it? Or speak and then not carry it out?

Rom.11:29   For unregretted are the graces and the calling of God.


The God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ

To those whom He has chosen, God reveals Himself by what He does (under His various titles) and by His name. However, since the incarnation of the Logos, Jesus Christ, Scripture also identifies Him with the Son of His love (Col.1:13; Mt.3:17; 12:18; 17:5) through Whom He is operating all according to His determination. 

Mt.27:46   "Eloi! Eloi! Lema sabachthani?" that is, 
          "My God! My God! Why didst Thou forsake Me?"
* Ps.22:1  My El! My El! Why have You forsaken me?…

Heb.1:9  … Thou art anointed by God, Thy God, 
          with the oil of exultation beyond Thy partners

          With the oil of elation beyond Your partners.
