Infallible integrity of God


I wonder if you have been thinking lately on the infallible integrity of God. Through the years I have learned to do word studies to be able to understand what I believe.  It is important to understand that our faith is in a Person, and what we believe about this Person will have a tremendous influence on our Christian walk. We listen to preachers and they tell us what we must believe and what they believe but we ourselves are inactive in studying the Word of God to speak out a verdict about God. Allow me to tell you about the infallible integrity of God.

In the first place the word infallible means: ‘absolutely trustworthy or sure,’ ‘unfailing in effectiveness or operation’.  It is no wonder that God’s integrity becomes the fuel of our faith. God has proved Himself faithful in the death and resurrection of Christ, by bringing man back to success and glory in Christ Jesus.
The New Covenant or Testament was not made between God and man but between the Father and the Son. Christ Himself fulfilled all the conditions of the new covenant for all - it was His obedience and not man’s obedience. It is by His obedience that we were able to receive Him as our Lord and Savior and that millions of people are still making decisions every week.

The scripture in Hebrews 4:2 (For also we have had the gospel preached, as well as them. But the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.), helps us to understand that the visible often has more influence on us than the Word of God, because our faith has never been activated by our understanding of God’s infallible integrity. It is a fact that our experiences of life forms our belief systems and then testifies against the integrity of God. Let me put the scripture in Hebrews differently so that we will understand the importance of faith.
·      They did not allow their hearts to be persuaded by God’s Word or promises, but rather preferred to give more credit to their circumstances.
·      Where the Word of God did not find the response of faith and of integrity in the heart of man, it failed to benefit that individual.
·      The Word was not cemented with that ingredient of Spirit Appreciation necessary to release the fullness of God’s attention in that Word.

My dear friend, God wants you and me to draw from our faith, He wants us to draw from the inexhaustible resource, the infallibility of His Word within us. I thought to ad these Scriptures to encourage you when you read them.
Phi 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me.
Luke 1:37 For no promise from God will be impossible of fulfillment.”
Rom 4:20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn't waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

Until next time.
