VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. Man lies but GOD does not lie

"God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie,"

We have this assurance, guarantee and reliance on the GOD that does not lie. Problem with man, man lies, and if you ever say, you don't lie, you have already lied to yourself and to people around you.

Lie or "kazab" in Hebrew meaning: liar, lie, lying

Lie (Webster Dictionary) - a criminal falsehood; a falsehood uttered for the purpose of deception; an intentional violation of truth. Fiction, or a false statement or representation, not intended to deceive, mislead or injure, as in fables, parables and the like, is not a lie.

1 Samuel 15:29 (Amplified Bible)

15:29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie or repent; for He is not a man, that He should repent.

Romans 11:29 (Amplified Bible)

11:29 For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]

Titus 1:2 (Amplified Bible)

1:2 [Resting] in the hope of eternal life, [life] which the ever truthful God Who cannot deceive promised before the world or the ages of time began.

Lie is deception. It's telling something different from what you really intend to do.

Hebrews 6:18 (Amplified Bible)

6:18 This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us].

The GOD we worship and serve does not rise and fall, does not cast any shadow, because He's Spirit and we worship Him not in the flesh but in the Spirit. (spiritual methods; ie: going to church, praying, reading/meditating the bible, bringing tithes/offerings, ministry involvement, attendance in worship services/gathering/prayer meetings/fasting)

James 1:17 (Amplified Bible)

1:17 Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse].

B. Man repents but GOD does not repent

"neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good?"

Repent or "nacham" in Hebrew meaning:

1. properly to sigh

2. breathe strongly

3. to be sorry

4. to pity, console or rue

5. to avenge, comfort, ease, repent

Repent (Webster's Dictionary) - to feel pain, sorrow or regret for something done or spoken; as, to repent that we have lost much time in idleness or sensual pleasure; to repent that we have injured or wounded the feelings of a friend. A person repents only of what he himself has done or said.

1 Chronicles 17:17 (Amplified Bible)

17:17 And yet this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God; for You have spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Lord God!

Micah 7:20 (Amplified Bible)

7:20 You will show Your faithfulness and perform the sure promise to Jacob and loving-kindness and mercy to Abraham, as You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

Luke 1:54-55 (Amplified Bible)

1:54 He has laid hold on His servant Israel [to help him, to espouse his cause], in remembrance of His mercy,

1:55 Even as He promised to our forefathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.

Genesis 17:7 (Amplified Bible)

17:7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting, solemn pledge, to be a God to you and to your posterity after you.

Fulfilment of Genesis 17:7:

Galatians 3:16 (Amplified Bible)

3:16 Now the promises (covenants, agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his Seed (his Offspring, his Heir). He [God] does not say, And to seeds (descendants, heirs), as if referring to many persons, but, And to your Seed (your Descendant, your Heir), obviously referring to one individual, Who is [none other than] Christ (the Messiah).

Genesis 18:18 (Amplified Bible)

18:18 Since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed through him and shall bless themselves by him?

Genesis 22:17 (Amplified Bible)

22:17 In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the seashore. And your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies,

IX. CONCLUSION:

James 1:6 (Amplified Bible)

1:6 Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind.

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS, for we live by faith and not by sight, it's already settled in Heaven, and we trust, depend and completely rely only on You.
