Trustworthy / Truthful / Immutable

Trustworthy means...

Trustworthy means God keeps His promises. Another word for this is faithful.

How do we know God is trustworthy?

Deuteronomy 7:9 says that God keeps His covenants. Psalms 89:1 says God is faithful. Sometimes we see the fulfilling of God's promises. At other times it is by faith we believe He will (i.e. Abraham's faith).

Truthful means...

Truthful means God does not lie.

How do we know God is truthful?

Hebrews 6:18 and Titus 1:2 says that it is impossible for God to lie. John 3:33 says that God is true. Numbers 23:19 says He is immutable.

Immutable means...

Immutable or unchanging means God has always been and will always be the same. No aspect of His character or nature is subject to change. Even though this is more an aspect of His deity, its significance to us is seen also in His character.

How do we know God is immutable?

James 1:17 says that God does not change. (Malachi 3:6, Psalms 102:25-27)

What significance does God's trustworthiness, truthfulness, and immutability have for us?

The basis of our relationship with God is His promises to us. He promises never to leave us or abandon us and to give us eternal life ( Psalms 37:28, 1 John 2:25). Because we know God keeps His promises, we can be assured of these things ( Lamentations 3:21-24).

God does not change (Malachi 3:6), meaning He has always been and will always be like He is now. This applies not only to His divine nature, but to His character. When God makes a promise, He keeps it.
