God's Oath to Himself

FAITHLESSNESS VERSES FAITHFULNESS

"If we believer not, yet he abideth faithful.” God’s faithfulness is not dependent on our belief. Belief can bring benefits to us, but whether we believe of not, God’s faithfulness is unchangeable. Our doubts will never change the dignity of His Deity. Our gentleman God always keeps His Word.

ONE PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

Our faith may waver at times, as Peter’s of old. We may have honest doubts, as John the Baptist. And, like the disciples in the storm, we might even question His care for us. But, in the midst of all our carnal confusion, one thing abides the same: the faithfulness of God; believe it or not.

WHO ARE WE TO BELIEVE?

Often it is said, “I can’t believe.” But I ask the question, “Whom can’t you believe?” God is not asking you to believe you, but to believe Him. We are not to look at our faith, but to the faithful One.

GOD SWORE TO HIMSELF

Settled assurance comes from the fact of knowing God did not swear to us but to Himself. As Moses said to the Lord, “Thou swearest by thine own self.” And the writer of Hebrews, referring to this very thing adds, “For when God made promise…because he could swear by no greater, he swear by himself.” Is it any wonder then that Jeremiah, in the midst of chaos, says, “Great is thy faithfulness.”

If not true of anyone else in the entire universe, “To thine own self be true” is true of God.
