Tag: unlying God

…in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. (Titus 1:2)

The unlying God.

I suppose “the God who cannot lie,” is a good translation. But somehow, the more “literal” translation rang more in my heart this morning.

It’s the reason I have hope. Because he is the unlying God, what he has promised, he always does.

And that includes the promise of eternal life that he gave before time began.

The promise that found fulfillment in his Son.

I can’t help but think of Simeon’s words in Luke 2.

Now, Master,
you can dismiss your servant in peace,
as you promised.

For my eyes have seen your salvation.
You have prepared it
in the presence of all peoples—
a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and glory to your people Israel. (Luke 2:29-32)
