Praise the Lord.

From the sun’s rising to the same setting, praise the Lord.

Obedient from first to last, he came to do the Father’s will.

He knew he would shed his blood for the sins of the world.

He knew that on the cross, he would be forsaken by God because of God’s holiness and how God can not look upon sin.

Yet, he died on the cross.

And God pleased with the son of his love, raised him from the dead.

And placed him at his right hand in heaven. There, he lives.

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him. Matthew 12 verse 18.

Holiness  

In the New Testament of the Bible, holiness means to be set apart from the profane (the unholy) and refers to the beauty, purity and divine perfection of God.  God the Creator, who called the things that were not into being.  It is this same God, who in his great mercy loved us so much and could not deny Himself, sent his only son to become our Savior.  – adapted from the King James Version

God cannot tell a lie.

“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”  Numbers 23:19 KJV

Comparisons can prove equality and inequality as well as attest to the similarities and differences between the superior and the inferior. “God is not a man, that he should lie,” is a subtle comparison upholding one fundamental truth; that the infinite God and Creator should never be equated to anyone, because He is holy.

God cannot lie…

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.  – Matthew 24:35 KJV

Jesus said it and he cannot tell a lie because, he is holy and he is God. There is no doubting his words. Doubting leads to fear and fear to unbelief.
